A mysterious bird poops on the president's head during the State of
the Union address. The bird could be a Chickcharney, the legendary
bird from the Caribbean, which may have come to Washington to
deliver a secret message. Is it for the president? Or Congress? Or
for Fina’s friend, a cashier at the Capitol snack bar? Or maybe
it's a message for Fina from her mom who passed away not so many
months ago. Fina gets detecting help from a pair of congressional
dogs as she searches for clues. The story mixes the mystery with a
peek behind the scenes at the U.S. Capitol, including a
congressional battle over immigration reform and a family battle
when Fina’s grandmother is nearly arrested at an immigration
protest. "State of the Union" is an introduction to civics for
elementary school readers. It's "The West Wing" meets Nancy Drew.

Tillie Appelpit, die appelbloeiselwit kerkmuisie, is mal oor
kuiergaste – en wanneer sy haar vriende vir tee nooi, ruik haar
huisie tussen die heuwels altyd heerlik na vars gebak. Eendag
ontdek sy ’n onverwagse gas voor haar deur: ’n Eier! Tillie neem
daar en dan verantwoordelikheid vir die eier – want sy weet ’n eier
moet warm gehou, vertroetel en versorg word. Wat sy egter nie weet
nie, is dat daar ’n groot verrassing in die eier wag. Welkom by die
wonderlike wereld van Tillie Appelpit!
From acclaimed author and Costa winner Hilary McKay comes The Time

a startling guest through his bedroom window. Even Max has started
to see shapes in the shadows . . . Their busy parents see none of
it - but Louis' secret visitor is growing too alarming to keep
secret, and he finds he cannot manage without Max and Abi's help.
Can they find out where the mysterious creature has come from - and
how to get it back there?
