Jacob Wonderbar for President of the Universe

March 21, 2012 by Nathan Bransford 90 Comments

It’s here… JACOB WONDERBAR FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSE!!

(And yes, that’s a space monkey in the top right corner).

Presidential campaigns are all fun and games until someone threatens to blow up your home planet.

When Jacob Wonderbar receives a message that he’s been nominated for President of the Universe, he, Sarah Daisy, and Dexter immediately return to space. But Jacob’s archnemesis, Prince Mick Cracken, is running as well, and his campaign tactics involve kidnappings and rogue space monkeys.

After surviving corndog-eating contests and insult debates, Jacob discovers the stakes for this election are even higher than he imagined: A military group wants to destroy Planet Earth, and the President of the Universe is the only person who can stop them.

Hold on to your space helmet!

I’m so grateful to Christopher S. Jennings for his amazing illustrations and Greg Stadnyk for the cover design.

    This cover is fantastic 🙂 I love covers like this over stock photography.

    I love the Jacob Wonderbar font. It's a ridiculous notion, but I can't help but judge covers by their font.

    Is he still running on the corndog ticket, or did he change his platform to quantum bananas to increase popularity with the space monkeys?

    Looks like you got a great illustrator, Nathan. Congrats.

    Congrats,that's a perfect cover. Doesn't every young boy want to be president of the universe?

    Makes me wonder what's left for Jacob to conquer after that? (hope he doesn't go for an empire next. . . a la Star Wars)

    Best wishes for your success as an author, Nathan.

    Just curious, Nathan…with all you know about electronic publishing, why you didn't do this book "yourself" rather than wait for it to debut a year from now?
