Beskrivning

White House kids Clara and Marissa Suarez find themselves on the hunt for a stolen eagle sculpture and on the front lines of the labour movement in this noir-style mystery that takes them through the streets of Great Depression–era Washington, DC. Along with Roosevelt grandchildren Buzzie and Sistie, the chase takes Clara and Marissa from the factory floor to the skies with Amelia Earhart, through encounters with historical figures–and keeps readers guessing up to its dramatic end on a river cruise with Franklin and Eleanor.Funny, fast-paced and filled with action, White House Mystery continues Sean O’Brien’s exciting middle grade series that “masterfully weaves together history, adventure, and purpose” (Ruby Shamir).

Recensioner i media

"As in the two earlier series entries, significant events in history come to life through the girls’ empathetic eyes… While chasing down the bird statue (in itself a delightful, slapstick comedy caper) they meet notable figures, including Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, Amelia Earhart, Lorena “Hick” Hickok (reporter and close companion of the First Lady), and Alice Roosevelt, who are refreshingly and appealingly humanized as real people. The girls’ modern speech and witty observations add irreverence to the story, but beneath all the fun is an important message that Marissa articulates: “I think anytime you have an opportunity to make a difference you have a responsibility to do it.” Lee’s black-and-white illustrations add zest and convey a sense of the time period… Entertaining, engaging, and empowering."
