Oliver Watson may appear dumb as dirt, but he's actually the Machiavellian owner of a secret global empire. The one thing he doesn't have is his father's respect, so he sets out to win (i.e., rig) the class election. Oliver has little depth or redeeming qualities, but his over-the-top evil voice may draw readers' attention to the book's social commentary.
