Liberty Porter, First Daughter (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Last week I was at a get-together and met Julia DeVillers. She was super nice and had the best stories, but I had never read any of her books! So I got "Liberty Porter, First Daughter" and I’m happy to say it was as awesome to read as Julia was to meet. It stars a girl whose father has just been elected President. The story is about the day they move into the White House. Liberty is a great character, full of quirkiness and fun. She knows a lot of strange facts about the White House, which I greatly enjoyed: "Did you know that there have been many strange pets in the White House? Like a badger named Josuah, lion clubs, alligators and a pygmy hippopotamus?"This is a great book for any kid interested in the White House. The characters and writing are fun and engaging. Ryan recommends! Why is third-grader Liberty Porter so excited? Well, because her dad was just elected President of the United States, making her First Daughter! You'd be excited, too. Liberty can't wait to see her new room in the White House, learn what her secret service code name will be, and get started on the most important project of her life - being a great First Daughter!The writing was okay and there's not much of a story, but this will please young girls (and boys) who are fascinated with Sasha and Malia or any of the other children of the White House. DeVillers manages to squeeze in more facts about the White House than you can shake a stick at, but it feels mostly organic and kids will find it interesting.

I like this book, but preferred Liberty Porter Cleared for Take Off better.
