Mayor ChickenMayor Chicken

Six dollars. One broken government website. One extremely unqualified chicken.Sixteen-year-old Noah Calhoun only meant to prove that Nashville's municipal election portal was held together by outdated code and administrative optimism. Registering his backyard chicken, Carl, for mayor was supposed to be a harmless late-night prank.Instead, Carl is officially on the ballot.When local bloggers mistake the stunt for high-concept political protest, reporters start calling, social media explodes, and an ordinary suburban chicken becomes the unlikely symbol of voter frustration, anti-establishment rebellion, and "dignified political silence."Now Noah and his best friend Landon are trapped inside the fastest-growing accidental campaign in city history-dodging journalists, confused voters, campaign finance deadlines, and the terrifying possibility that their feathered candidate might actually be more popular than the real politicians.Packed with deadpan humor, escalating chaos, and razor-sharp political satire, Mayor Chicken is a wildly absurd coming-of-age comedy about bureaucracy, internet culture, and what happens when a joke refuses to stay a joke.Because in modern politics, sometimes the least qualified candidate is the only one who isn't pretending.
