About the Book
Title: The Age
of Amy: The Thumper Amendment
Author: Bruce
Edwards
Genre: YA
Contemporary
Congress
has lowered the voting age to 14! Not one to refuse political involvement,
16-year-old Amy patriotically joins a campaign to elect the next
President of the United States. Her real reason for participating, however, is
much more personal: the opposing candidate’s son bullied her when she was a 3rd
grader. Thwarting his father’s bid for the presidency would be the perfect way
to get even with him!
Campaign
reform laws now require presidential contenders to face off on a TV reality
show. The “race” for the White House has become just that! Absurd
challenges await the candidates as they speed cross-country toward Washington.
But the campaign trail turns bumpy, when their buses take an unexpected detour
into fantasy world! There they are confronted by half-human creatures, haunted
by dead presidents, and rocketed into an economic dystopia of the future—all
while being viewed by a worldwide television audience.
Amy
is on board for the journey, as her grade school nemesis rides on the
competition’s campaign bus. But along the way she develops second thoughts
about avenging the boy. Her brutal offender has changed in the last seven
years, becoming thoughtful and compassionate. (And cute!) Amy’s contempt for
him surprisingly turns to affection. Is she falling in love?
