Ed and Bo are two recently graduated stoners with a growing business and an even faster growing reputation. When they are flown out to Silicon Valley by a potential investor, they must wade through incredible meals, flashy accommodations, unorthodox work habits, and a hell of a lot of snack food to determine just how far they are willing to go to seal the deal. When Ed & Bo realize that their investors may be shady, they must fight for the future of their company as their last summer of freedom comes to a close.

There's a new King in town, his name is Hank and nobody knew he existed until now. As the presidential election nears and the Royal basis of power threatens to dissolve, the children reluctantly band together in an attempt to stop World War XXX. Sometimes, family is all you have even if you all hate each other. This climactic dissolution of societal order, Royal rule, and the very fabric of life itself hurdles the American Royalty into an uncharted abyss.

In an effort to convince the peasant public of the worth of American Royalty, the family embarks on a cross-country tour, led by King Kyle. The family does their best to band together to save the lineage, but Trevor follows his fracturing sense of self into a crazed rampage, Emma deepens her secret and illegal relationship with the Canadian Princess, and Queen Donna schemes to bring the entire family crashing down.

King Emma finally has her dream job, and it is everything she ever wanted except for the soul-crushing battle against governmental inefficiency and Royal tradition. Prince Trevor goes on a spiritual journey through the desert, Prince Kyle reconnects with his youth by taking a summer job as a lifeguard, and Queen Donna continues to orchestrate her mad plans for world domination. Emma must choose between duty and love while the cracks in the Royalty continue to grow.

"It's a mad race to the altar as each of the children frantically search for a spouse to ensure their chance to rule. Each child makes equally questionable decisions in their choice of partner, resulting in one joint wedding day for all. The event brings out far too many lies about love, sexuality, and commitment, culminating in a tragedy that transforms life as the Washingtons know it"--Provided by publisher.

"Queen Donna is now King, and her plan for Belgian domination can finally come to fruition. Prince Trevor is dealing with his surprise wife and his unsurprising lack of motivation to pass the rites required for Kingship. Princess Emma grapples with her confusing desire for a Canadian Princess, and Prince Kyle tries to find his self-worth in charity. Meanwhile, there is a new candidate for peasant Presidency who demands change, but the family is too preoccupied to notice"--Provided by publisher.

"The day of King Jonathan George Washington's 65th birthday party can only mean one thing. It is time for him to name his successor. While each of the three children scheme, double-cross, and posture as best they can in order to secure the crown, Queen Donna Franklin sets a plan in motion that could topple the world entirely. The King's decision sends shockwaves throughout the nation"--Provided by publisher.

"Ed & Bo are your average teenagers with a taste for the finer things in life; like pizza rolls, salt and vinegar chips, and long naps. Life is pretty awesome until they're faced with the greatest challenge since that time they lost the keys to Ed's Mom's car--they have to participate in an extra credit business competition or fail 12th grade. The boys must balance rivalries, secret crushes, not-so-secret crushes, and discussions of life's greatest mysteries as they try to graduate. Ed & Bo Try to Graduate is Book #1 from Stoopid, an EPIC Press series"--Provided by the publisher.
