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.

    Okay. Because I like you I'll withdraw my candidate, Richard Moberly, the hero of my soon-to-be-epublished "Mouse Hole." I'll nominate him for president of the parallel universe instead. Good going!

    I dunno people, I hear there's already a controversy about hanging chads in Alpha Centauri, and allegations that Jacob was really born in an alternate Universe.

    Whoa. I think Jacob Wonderbar really did break the universe. Not only did I find my comment from today in this thread, I also found my comment dated 2011…and then discovered lots of comments from 2011. Is the universe broken? Are we in two dimensions of time at once? Apparently, your book has superpowers. 🙂

    Congrats man.

    Writing posts for this blog seems like it would be a full time job. Don't know how you managed another novel and have a day job. Oh yeah…I don't think you have kids!

    Congrats, Nathan, but I'm confused why some of those dates on the comments show 2011?
    Blogger problem?

    Best of luck with 'President of the Universe', hope Jacob's platform is better than most politicians.

    Thanks for the explanation, Nathan. I thought maybe Jacob had caused a time travel problem. Hmm.

    Wow – so exciting! Congratulations, Nathan. Could there be Jacob Wonderbar the animated movie coming our way soon? And why not? Kids love this story with its brilliant and original mix of fantasy, humour and loveable characters.

    This is so cool! You are my inspiration, Nathan Bransford. I just published my first novel on Kindle and I hope I have absorbed your blogger/author/agent wisdom well enough to make it a decent read!
