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.
