Overview

Those were the magic words and Beth knew it. How many times had I uttered that phrase to Ms. Robinson in guidance, the standard answer for what I wanted to do with my life? CHANGE THE WORLD. Did I still have the strength and determination to get it together and try to make a difference?

Was it my destiny, my vocation?

Or was I just trying to impress a girl?

As I looked at Beth, I wondered if the reason why even mattered.

The indefatigable Larry is back, and this time he takes on the American political system

After falling off the wagon and becoming what he so clearly and strongly resisted-a consumer-Josh Swensen (aka Larry) finds himself in a hyper-paranoid state of no return. That is, until he's kidnapped and coaxed into resurfacing as his old persona. Before long, Larry is back on the scene with much more on his mind than a gospel Web site-this time Larry wants to affect change in government. What starts out as a campaign to get the younger population to vote turns into a run for the presidency. Can Larry really take on George Bush?

In this very smart, very witty novel, Janet Tashjian brings the political world to the forefront and explores it from many different points of view.

In this follow-up to "The Gospel According to Larry," Larry is back, and this time he wants to affect change in the government. Not yet eighteen years old, Josh, a.k.a. Larry, comes out of hiding and returns to public life, this time to run for President as an advocate for issues of concern to youth and to encourage voter turnout. Tashjian brings the political world to the forefront and explores it from many different points of view in this smart and witty novel.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In Tashjian's clever, inspiring sequel, Josh Swensen (known to his public as Larry)-now living in Boulder, Colo., as Mark Paulson-comes clean about faking his death in The Gospel According to Larry (he refers to it as a "pseudocide"), and announces his run for the presidency. Beth, his childhood love, convinces him to return to public life ("It was time for me to contribute again"). Readers meeting Josh for the first time do not have to worry; a generous supply of Tashjian's trademark pithy footnotes fill in the back story. Here, instead of battling consumerism via a Web site, Josh (as Larry) is out trying to get young people to vote. He blasts SUV drivers, the nation's "color-coded alert system" and "politicians who [have] taken so much money from Big Business for their campaign war chests that they have to listen to their concerns." When teen supporters press for a constitutional amendment to allow 18-year-olds to be eligible for the presidency, Josh's candidacy goes from symbolic to viable. But trouble looms: betagold, the woman who exposed his identity in Gospel, is back on his trail, and there's a traitor in his camp. Josh's narration moves swiftly, and the topical yet universal themes make this book even more compelling than the first. Readers will get a charge out of Josh/Larry's fiery speeches and outrageous platform, and startling facts (e.g., "Every minute, a baby in the U.S. is born without health insurance") plus a resource list in the back (with voter registration Web sites) provide plenty of fuel for those motivated by the hero's call to action. Ages 14-up. (May) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature
This sequel continues the story of the marvelous character the author invented in The Gospel According to Larry (Laurel Leaf, ). Josh Swensen, a prodigy who rocked his teen world when he came out against consumerism on a website as a persona he named Larry, eventually faded into "pseudocide", disappearing from the lives of all who worshipped and knew him. This companion story opens as Josh/Larry is living in Colorado with his first real girlfriend who is, ironically, a committed shopper. When he is rediscovered by his best friend, true love and cohort, Beth, she persuades him to run for president for the Peace Party. Amazingly they are successful in adding a 28th amendment to make 18 the minimum age requirement to run for president of the United States. Larry's desire is to get youth voting and enlighten them about everything from SUVs to Big Business owning politicians. This is an unlikely premise, a doubtful plot, but Tashjian's brisk writing and humor makes it work as Larry speaks out against the horrors of current political ploys. Tashjan's genius is that she chooses statistics that are shocking and has invented a character with enough depth and so saucy that we can allow him to climb up on a pedestal and preach so that the book's audience can listen. There book is flavored with enough conflict and love interest that somehow it becomes a story rather than a treatise. In truth this would make a great book to read aloud in a political year and discuss current trends and youth's opinions of them! 2004, Holt, Ages 10 to 14.
—Susie Wilde
VOYA
In this sequel to The Gospel According to Larry (Henry Holt, 2001/VOYA December 2001), teen prophet Josh "Larry" Swenson returns from the dead. Hounded relentlessly after it was revealed that he was the creator of a Web site that captivated and inspired American teens by taking a stand against consumerism and celebrity worship, "Larry" staged his own death to escape the media attention. Josh is now living under an assumed name in Colorado. Beth, his best friend from his former life, tracks him down and convinces him to run for president. Despite the fact that Josh is not even old enough to vote, he hits the campaign trail as Larry again with Beth as his running mate. The goal of their Peace Party is not to win, but to enlighten voters and engage the youth of America in the political process. Josh has a fresh, intelligent voice, filled with common sense, passion, and conviction. He faces the rigors of the campaign trail, mudslinging from foes, and a tricky love triangle with self-deprecating humor and the power of his convictions. This novel is all about the idea that young people can and do make a difference when they choose to become politically involved. Josh's story offers the fresh device of showing readers the Post-It notes that Josh uses to jot down thought-provoking ideas and statistics, accurate and current to the time of publication according to the publisher. Footnotes are also used effectively, allowing the narrator to insert wry asides and extra observations in a format rarely used in fiction. Parts of the plot strain the boundaries of credibility and there are difficulties with chronology that the author does not quite explain, but overall, it is a solid and timely work thatwill make readers laugh, but more important, will make them think. Set during the current 2004 election campaign, it might just convince some teens to care. VOYA Codes 4Q 4P S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Broad general YA appeal; Senior High, defined as grades 10 to 12). 2004, Henry Holt, 240p., Ages 15 to 18.

School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up-Josh (aka Larry) is back-and so are Beth, Peter, Mom's spirit at Bloomingdale's, and even his old nemesis, betagold. This time, the topic de jour is politics-the electoral game, campaign financing, crooked politicians, and the power of the vote. The story begins with Larry finding a new girlfriend who has him out shopping and wearing designer clothes, until he is kidnapped by Beth, who wants him to return home and run for state representative. But that's not enough-Larry decides to run for president. Never mind that he is only 18-Congress can change that rule! When his campaign begins to gain momentum, the story's pace picks up, and the mysterious betagold reappears. Tashjian has written another sermonizing book disguised as Larry. Not that the lessons aren't interesting-they are-but in this book, they feel more like lessons. In The Gospel According to Larry (Holt, 2001) the idea was fresh and interesting, but this time it seems almost forced. The story itself is good, but is marred by sequel syndrome, unnecessary frills, and jumpy writing. Larry's fans will eat it up, but it needs Gospel to carry its weight.-Angela J. Reynolds, Washington County Cooperative Library Services, Hillsboro, OR Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
In this companion to The Gospel According to Larry (2001), Larry's back from the dead and running for president. With the Peace Party, a 28th amendment to make 18 the minimum age a person can run for president, creative uses of the Internet, and support from music icons Bono, Sting, Aerosmith, and Norah Jones, Larry is once again head of a mass movement with the potential to change the world-yet he's never quite sure if maybe he's only out to impress a girl. Politics, romance, important social issues, and even a saboteur in the wings make this a fun, spirited romp through an election year. Tashjian's lively, comic prose, coupled with her characters' anger at politics as usual in this country, may just inspire young readers to become young voters. This can stand on its own, but those new to Larry's world will want to read the previous installment as well. (Fiction. YA)

Read an Excerpt

from VOTE FOR LARRY

Beth told me later that what we had done didn't change anything, that we had important work to do, that she was serious about Simon . . . blah, blah, blah.

But everything changed.

I don't want you to think I reverted to some dopey guy following Beth around like a puppy. I was cool, gave her a boost up out of the hole after the rain stopped, waved goodbye with a smile.

You know when you finally do something you've been obsessed with for years, and somehow afterward it feels anticlimactic, not worthy of all the hype?

This wasn't one of those times.

The term "slow-motion" doesn't begin to describe the care I took in playing back my afternoon with Beth. Her kissing my chest, my muddy hands pulling her toward me, the sky opening up and pouring down on us afterward.

It was messy.

It was beautiful.

It ruined my vision quest.

I went home and ate a three-egg omelet with half a jar of salsa, then took the longest, hottest shower of my life.

I had been happy with Janine—she was kind and gregarious and fun—but this was Beth. As for Simon? I didn't care what Beth said about her commitment to him. His reign was over.

I wanted to play it cool,[35] so I didn't rush over to Beth's. I grabbed a notebook and a handful of markers and headed for the basement.

In the cocoon-like safety of my swing, I outlined several ideas. I got so carried away mapping out various projects, I ran out of paper in the first fifteen minutes.

I left the swing for the larger space of the workroom. Cans of paint lined the walls, probably leftover from Peter's jobs. I rolled out a giant drop cloth until it covered most of the basement floor. I took a brush from the tray next to the sink and began graphing my thoughts. Soon the tarp looked like an abstract expressionist painting with chunks of color representing possible avenues of action.[36]

When it was dark, I took a break and cleaned up. Peter had left a message saying he was in Worcester and wouldn't be home until tomorrow. So I figured enough time had passed for a non-desperate visit to Beth's.

In all the turmoil of coming home, I hadn't made Beth a Christmas present. She and I had always celebrated the holidays as non-materialistically as possible—we made each other presents. So I sat down and spilled my guts in a letter, detailing how I'd felt about her for years and the new level we'd taken the relationship to. The thing was mushier than a stupid pop song, but the words just wouldn't stop. I took the Ganesh statue from its box in the closet and wrapped it carefully in one of my T-shirts. I headed over to her house.

But what I saw from the edge of her yard froze me in my steps.

She and Simon were making snow angels.

They were lying on their backs, holding hands, and naming the constellations. Our constellations, the ones Beth and I had named a hundred times before.

But the most painful part of watching Beth and Simon? They looked happy.

I'd witnessed Beth with Todd, with Charlie, with Dave—but never this relaxed and comfortable with someone else.

She was right about one thing she'd said earlier today: Nothing had changed between us. Nothing at all.

I shoved the letter in my pocket and trudged home.

I tried to hate her—for using me, playing with my mind, cheating on him—but I couldn't muster up the anger. Whatever she did to me from here on in was nothing compared to what I'd put her through. She had me over a barrel and she knew it.

I hurried to the basement to put my pent-up energy to use. But this time, the paint splattered and flew across the tarp at warp speed. Where my work that afternoon had been meticulous and well thought out, this was wild and raw. A Pollock of pain.

Should I go back to Boulder? Hit the road? Come out of hiding and be Larry? Work side by side with Beth and Simon? Oh, and by the way—Happy New Year!

I picked up the phone and called Janine, but all I got was her answering machine with the Banana Splitsf0 theme song. I wanted to tell her that my name wasn't Mark, that I was in love with someone else, but that I still thought about her all the time. Instead, I quietly dropped the phone back into its base. Josh Swensen—King of Calling Old Girlfriends and Hanging Up. I barely slept.

I woke up at three, full of anxiety. It took me a few minutes to realize why. Between the pre-dawn darkness and Peter's absence, it was almost exactly like the morning I'd left two years ago. I washed up quickly, grabbed Peter's bike this time, and headed into the early morning.

My body knew where I was going long before my mind acknowledged it. Hour after hour, I pedaled south, then east. Thankfully, most of the roads were clear.

Somewhere around Plymouth, I couldn't avoid facing my destination.

I was returning to the scene of the crime.

As I pedaled, the colors and lines I'd painted yesterday congealed into some kind of plan. The task this time seemed Herculean—or was it quixotic?[37] That was also what made it appealing.

Once I hit Wareham, I coasted—almost afraid to catch a glimpse of the bridge. I stopped at a diner to use the bathroom and down two bagels and a bottle of water. Should I go along with Simon and Beth's idea or follow my own path? I wrote down my idea on the napkin in front of me. Was I being too delusional this time, even for me? No, delusional was thinking I could ever end up with Beth. This idea seemed almost attainable compared to that one. I told myself to quit stalling, got back on the bike, and headed toward the Sagamore.

As I pedaled across the bridge, my body instinctively pulled over to the same spot I'd stopped at back then. It was much less windy than that previous day, but no less threatening. I leaned my bike against the stanchion and gazed over the side.

How had I even pretended to jump? My hands clenched the girder for support. I felt as dizzy and nauseous as I had the morning of my pseudocide. Stand here, I thought. Stand here until you realize what you've done. What you're going to do.

I looked across the bay and let the past few years flash before me—the campsites, the hostels, the lies, the fake IDs, the paranoia, the loneliness. Yes, I had met interesting people and traveled to parts of the country I never would have seen otherwise. But I'd traveled as an interloper, a fugitive.

The wind pressed against my back, pinning me to the railing. I let myself feel the isolation of my existence. This wasn't about Beth, my mother, Peter, or even Janine; it was about me. I didn't know what the future held, where my place was in the universal plan, but I did know this.

I didn't want to be Mark anymore. Or Carl or Gil or Tom.

Whatever the future held, I would meet my fate as Josh Swensen. And that meant embracing Larry again. And being Larry meant contributing in a big way. I unfolded the napkin I'd scribbled on in the diner and read my New Year's resolution.

This year I will run for president.

I couldn't be president, of course; no one my age could. The Constitution was quite clear that you had to be thirty-five to serve. But there was nothing in that document that said I couldn't raise issues or voice my opinion.

Absurd?

You bet.

But that was what drew me to the idea.

A police car pulled alongside me, lights flashing. The cop in the passenger seat got out of the car cautiously and asked if there was a problem.

I shook my head and looked past him to the dark water below. "Don't worry, I'm not thinking about jumping."[38]

I thought about turning myself in, throwing my bike in their trunk and hitching a ride toward my newly decided fate. Instead, I hopped on my bike and headed toward Boston.

I had a lot of work to do.

    I Vote for Larry

    Vote for Larry was an outstanding novel. I loved it. It's modern references to society were so true it made me interested in politics. Vote For Larry could truely be my favorite book of all time. Tashjian wrote both a romantic and political boook into one. Josh Swenson (aka Larry) brought up such true aspects of the American government and inspired me. This book is realistic and I hope that sometime in the future, someone does what Tashjian wrote.

    i think that this book was good but it does show too much, devious acts. I liked it enough though because throughout the whole book you have no idea who it is and then at the very end it completely surprises you.

    Why do we focus on other countries before our own?

    I would definately recommend reading Vote for Larry! It is full of political unknowns as well as a weird kind of love triangle. I thought that the coolest thing about reading vote for Larry was that 'Josh' was focused a lot on the issues that many teenagers feel and are never addressed by the government. The main focus of this book is to those of 17- 24 the majority of ages that do not vote because they don't care about the issues, which I believe that if they don't care about the issues, then what issues should we be bringing up. I think that if you are really about change in the world and voicing your opinion then you should definitely take the time to read this book!

    Viva la Larry

    Josh 'Larry' Swenson is alive and kicking. This book is great cure to my 'Gospel According to Larry' itches and is a definite read if you have read the first book. It's kind of a let-down in some parts becaues just reminds me that even an incredible kid like Larry is human like the rest of us when I really don¿t want to believe it. However it is a good book that I had to finish. I must say the presidential part is quite a surprise. The books are one-of-a-kind hands down and the messages are clear and inspirational. The ending is definitely not satisfying enough and calls for another book, which I hope comes out soon!

    The Gospel According to Larry

    This is a book I think everybody should read. After a while, it's almost like you know Josh Swenson, aka 'Larry' personally. I like how he incorperates the Scriptures into it and makes various references to them.

    Great Book

    I loved this book as much as I did 'Gospel According to Larry.' It keeps you reading and keeps you interested throughout the book. I definitely recommend it! But if you haven't read the 'Gospel According to Larry' you'll have a hard time understanding! :p
