Summary: In this hilarious new book from New York Times bestselling author Tom Angleberger, a novelty-store mustache pits two seventh-grade friends against each other in a battle for the fate of the U.S.A. The mustache in question is no cheap costume prop but the Heidelberg Handlebar Number Seven, a lip tickler so dazzlingly convincing, it can turn whole towns of people into mindless yes-men. Twelve-year-old Casper Bengue borrows ten dollars from his friend Lenny Flem Jr. to buy the mustache. So when a mysterious-- and very short-- mustachioed man goes on a bank-robbing spree, then launches a well-financed bid for the presidency, it doesn't take Lenny long to realize that his buddy is up to no good. Too bad almost everyone else is completely under Casper's spell. With the amazing Jodie O'Rodeo, teen cowgirl queen, at his side and dozens of hypnotized townsfolk on his trail, Lenny will try to stop Casper- aka Fako Mustacho- on his seemingly inexorable march to the White House.
