Bullies are chastised for their shameful behavior while the Donald’s callousness is considered acceptable. A book for young adults probes this double standard.

BREA, CA, USA, September 17, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today’s young adults are constantly drilled on the evils of badgering and bullying. How bewildered they must be seeing broad support for a presidential candidate with a mean-spirited disposition. This contradiction is examined in a book for teens by award-winning author Bruce Edwards. "The Age of Amy: The Thumper Amendment" is a rollicking fantasy-adventure that takes young readers behind the meanness in campaign politics.

About the Book

"The Race for the White House" is a TV reality show where candidates compete to win their party’s nomination. With the voting age lowered to fourteen, 16-year-old Amy joins the tomfoolery to support her chosen candidate. But her patriotic zeal is crushed when the opposition implicates her in a series of scandals. Ultimately, Amy’s public ridicule serves her true objective: to urge congressional passage of the Thumper Amendment that would make campaign misconduct unconstitutional.

About the Series

The Age of Amy books follow an inquisitive adolescent girl on her quest to understand the times she was born into. Each story sends 16-year-old Amy on fantastic adventures, where she encounters the powerful people and institutions that shape our lives. Along the way she observes the dark side of human nature, wherein lies the root cause of all the world's problems.
