An average kid, with average friends, takes on the extraordinary goal in becoming America's FIRST kid senator but he must first get through the evil and powerful mayor, Mort Axes, a man who has never lost a fight and will win at all costs. Axes is a man so skilled at the art of lying he persuaded his own mother he was an orphan, so ruthless and uncaring that he stole a blind neighbor's working dog and replaced it with a cat so he wouldn't have to buy a new puppy for his daughter. The senatorship is his and no stupid kid will get in his way! Not to be outdone by Newt, childhood enemy Liam Noahlot will stop at nothing to ruin him. He uses his daddy's money to cause all manner of problems for his former best friend, being sure to humiliate and undermine Newt at every turn. But Newt gets some help from some unlikely friends. Meet them all, starting with Hu Flung Pu, "T-Bone," Alistair Crumpet, and Brooke McVitty. Come join Newt and learn how he sets his lofty goal, and works to achieve it. You too can do great things if you believe in yourself!"
