Imagine if you lived in the White House The first book centers
around three of Theodore Roosevelt's children, Kermit, Ethel and
Archie. Their mother is away and they are left in the charge of a
comical nanny named Mrs. Duffit and their President father, who is
very preoccupied with the visit from a quirky Russian Ambassador,
Count Cassini. Eager to keep the children out of trouble, President
Roosevelt sends his children on a treasure hunt--just like Treasure
Island, only in the White House. There are mysteries popping out of
Dolley Madison paintings and strange goings-on in the attic--and
the result is a rollicking good time and a crash course in American
history too. Ron Kidd has masterfully adapted the script from the
original play into a novel for us, and Ard Hoyt's playful
illustrations are interspersed throughout.
