Story
In America, they say any kid might someday be elected President. Well, 13-year-old Justin Moon did get elected President. The only problem is that now he has to actually serve in the nation's highest office. Being the leader of the most powerful country in the world is not as much fun as it sounds. Sure, the White House is filled with great stuff like its own movie theater, bowling alley, and swimming pool.

Stosh thought he was finished traveling back in time. But then Ralph Branca shows up in his room one night, begging for Stosh's help. In 1951, Branca pitched a ball to Bobby Thomson that would become the "Shot Heard Round the World", a home run that won the National League pennant for the New York Giants and changed the lives of Branca and Thomson forever. Branca says the Giants were cheating, and he needs Stosh to use his power with baseball cards to go back in time and set things right.

Fun book, for children of all ages!
If you could sum up The Kid Who Ran for President in three words, what would they be?
Although I was 55 when I read it, I enjoyed it very much. With a very depressing presidential election, it was nice to listen to a book that put a lighter touch on politics.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character because he reminds of me at his age. I ran for office when I was 18, which was when I could first legally vote. I totally understand the characters in this story!
Have you listened to any of Scott Shina’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not that I know of.

Amazing story and preformance
Amazing story, amazing narrator and amazing characters.
it's only 3 hours long book, but it is fun to listen to and the narrator did his job beautifully.
also, the book is almost step by step layout what Donald Trump did to become president.
Highly recommended.
