For some reason this made me think about The Kid Who Ran for President, a wish fulfillment-type book about a kid who gets elected US president on a platform of outlawing homework. The sequel actually has him serve as president, but from what I remember it subverts the power fantasy. The kid can’t actually outlaw homework and he has endless meetings listening to the grievances of special interest groups and has no time for fun. Turns out running a government as a child kinda sucks, and he eventually resigns
