Jennifer, an incredibly average eighth grader, is in the midst of struggling to complete a class assignment on tragically boring president Franklin Pierce “FRANKLIN PIERCE DID NOT”. Disappointed that everyone in class will have a more interesting president to show off in their presentations, Jennifer puts her project away for the night. But as soon as she goes to sleep, Jennifer is awakened by a mysterious visitor: Franklin Pierce himself!

​

That’s right, former president Franklin Pierce has come to Jennifer to inform her that once a year a student is assigned a report on his presidency, and once a year he pleads with them to set the record straight. It wasn’t that he was a boring and disappointing president - he was actually distracted from his White House duties by a secret magical dragon war threatening mankind “TELL THEM ALL”. Franklin’s world-saving adventure stayed a secret after his death, and now he’s determined to finally convince someone to present the truth.

​

However, Jennifer isn’t swayed by his fantastical story and insists he just get used to his real, boring life where he’s simply not cool. Franklin sees Jennifer’s really talking about herself and tries to get her to see the unique person she is, even if she’s not that popular “THE YOU YOU ARE”. Jennifer realizes he’s right and is ready to embrace her special brand understanding that Franklin was using the dragons as a metaphor to show her how silly it looks when you try to be more exciting than you are. But as Jennifer champions her new positive attitude, Franklin tries to insist that no, it wasn’t a metaphor, he really did slay a clan of dragons.

​

Just then, Jennifer wakes up from what she believes was a wild dream. But when Franklin Pierce appears at the foot of her bed with one last plea, no one can be sure!
