When Joe tells a local news reporter exactly what he would do if he were leader of the country, the video goes viral and Joe’s speech becomes famous all over the world!
Before long, people are calling for the current leader to resign and give someone else a go . . . and that’s how an ordinary boy like Joe ended up with the most extraordinary job. Now the fun can really start . . .
Hats for cats! Pet pigs for all! Banana shaped buses! Swimming pools on trains!
A hilarious story of one boy’s meteoric rise to power!

It was very funny but I am not that much of a funny person but the book still made me laugh A LOT !!!!! I would recommend it to anyone who likes funny stuff

This book is really funny because right at the end, Jenkin’s (the prime minister’s bodyguard) has a jet pack and the Queen throws a stone at a bird and it poops on someone’s head. I would recommend it to everyone 6 and over.

I would recommend this fantastic book to anyone who is interested in becoming a PM.
My favourite part is when the PM has to go with the scary lions.

Absolutely hilarious! Even as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed this book and definitely think it’s a read for more reluctant year 5/6 children who love a giggle!

The beginning was really interesting and I was quite enjoying it but when I read deeper into the story it turned a bit boring.

I like this book because it’s really funny and it’s by one of my favourite authors. My favourite character is AJ because he eats Jo who is the prime minister‘s mums food and it’s always disgusting and weird but he still likes it. Also he’s always joking about with a with Jo and it’s really really funny. I’d recommend this book because it’s just really funny and it’s by my favourite author. Pop

I loved this book and the characters are really funny! I especially liked his interpretation of the queen, who had a habit of slingshoting pigeons! I would recommend this book to anyone who's bored.Tom Mclauglin is the new David Walliams!

A funny view of politics and a reminder of what it should be; making life better.

I liked Jenkins at the beginning but then he became evil and teamed up with Violetter,but then he became good again luckily.

28 Jul 2022

Pretty good

14 Jul 2022

The book is about a boy called Joe who actually becomes prime minister. This book made me laugh out loud. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.

22 Jun 2022

It is a really good book I really would like to reccomend this book for other children who are really interested to cartoon books

15 Jan 2022

I thought it was hilarious how Joe called the prime minister a dafty. I wasn't expecting Joe's clever thinking to defeat violetta. I liked Ajay best because he was always joking.I would recommend this book to anyone because it is great for anyone who likes humour.

06 Jan 2022

I liked this book because it was really funny and creative. My favourite character in the book is Suzi because when Joe feels that he has no hope anymore Suzi brings hope back to him. The story is about a boy named Joe who accidentally becomes the prime minister of Britain. Evil Violetta wants to become prime minister herself. She sabotages the grand opening of the park, making everyone fight and blame it on Joe. I would recommend this book for other people because it could teach people to have fun and enjoy themselves.
