I'm bully for this book!

My 8 year old daughter loved this book. Once she started reading, she couldn't stop. She is anxiously awaiting the next book in this series. A great way to read about historical events.

Daughter laughed out loud and learned while reading this one!

My daughter, age 10, loved this book and is anxious for more like it to come out! She laughed out loud and re-enacted many scenes! She loves history, which is a bit unusual for her age, but she enjoyed the kids' antics, loved the mystery (compared it to National Treasure), and had fun trying to picture the white house in her mind. This is a fantastic historical fiction for middle readers!
