AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A clever and fast-paced middle-grade story about kids given the power to make big decisions.

'When Harper’s dad unexpectedly becomes the Prime Minister of Australia he’s terrible at it. After seventeen days their family is a laughing stock, and Dad disappears to a ‘conference’ – but he leaves his phone behind. To save his reputation, Harper secretly takes his place.

'With her little sister, Lottie, Harper must decide on a new policy by the end of the week. She finds herself torn between ideas – should she ban plastic bottles? Or make weekends go for more than two days?

'Can she prove a kid can lead the country better than a grown-up?' (Publication summary)
