The Tuttle Twins and the Play for Power（力をめぐる駆け引き）

My nephew actually laughed out loud at the scene where the kids are trying to spy on each other, the stolen campaign materials part felt surprisingly realistic. It’s got a good mix of action and those awkward moments with new friends that kept him interested without feeling like a lecture.

This kept my 13-year-old turning pages instead of scrolling, especially the campaign-spying and girl-friend drama. Perfect for sparking conversations about real-world politics without feeling like a lecture.

My teenager actually paused their phone scrolling to finish this in one sitting—the election plot with the shark-fin car toppers and spying subplots was surprisingly engaging. The way it mixes serious ideas about power with funny moments like the music festival had them laughing out loud.
