Alex Schuler is your typical middle school student, except for one thing. He is being advised and learning American history from all the Presidents of the United States. Alex's grandfather gave Alex a unique book for his tenth birthday that when he reads it, all the presidents come alive. Alex has all the same issues in school and at home such as dealing with bullies, students cheating on tests and having to deal with chores and an older brother. However, not every student can ask a president for help.
