Josh Lieb author video, featuring Jon Stewart

"If War and Peace had a baby with The Breakfast Club and then left the baby to be raised by wolves, this book would be the result. I loved it." - Jon Stewart

"Josh Lieb is on one of the great brave journeys in American literature. Or maybe he just signed my name to a blurb he wrote. Either way, you have to admit hes brave. And the book is hilarious." - Judd Apatow

Oliver Watson is basically your average twelve-year-old kid. He lives in Omaha, Nebraska. His favorite after-school snack is a grilled cheese sandwich. His best friend is his pit bull mix, Lollipop. And...oh yeah. He's an evil genius on his way to total world domination.

Nobody can stop Oliver from getting what he wants. Not Jordie Moscowitz, the seventh grade bully. Not his moronic English teacher, Mr. Moorhead. Not even his father and arch nemesis, "Daddy." (He hates being called that.)

Until now. Because Oliver Watson is running for class president. And it turns out that overthrowing cranky foreign dictators is actually a lot easier than getting the other kids to vote for you.

Even for a genius of unspeakable evil.

JOSH LIEB is the Emmy-winning Executive Producer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and has worked on such shows as The Simpsons and Newsradio. This is his first novel. He lives in New York City.

Seriously really well done. Smart, funny,and so creative.

IT needs to be a tv show. Imagine the way you could cut away to cartoon moments when he is 'imagining' his evil world.

Does anyone know of a way to contact Josh? One of my students want to read an excerpt from his book for a speaking competition, but we have to prove that the author was born after a certain date. I haven't been able to find his date of birth anywhere, so I had hoped to contact him directly, but haven't found a website or any other way to contact him.

Help?
