First Boy

Cooper Jewett never knew his real parents. His grandparents, who raised him, have both passed away. Now, Cooper has no one, not even a dog to keep him company. All he wants is to keep their New Hampshire dairy farm going.
All of a sudden, strange and inexplicable things begin to happen. Someone is trying to sabotage the farm, and a challenger to the incumbent president is pressuring Cooper to campaign with him. Who exactly "is" Cooper Jewett, and what does the government want with him?
