Living in the White House, i can't imagine anyone who doesn't want that.
In the second book in the First Daughter series by Mitali Perkins, First Daughter Sameera presidential parents, cousin Miranda and dog Jingle move into the White House. Sameera has to say goodbye to Bobby, who is moving to India to see his ill grandfather for the last time. Sameera hopes he will call or mail her..but she has to be very patient.. Her blog is very popular, but there are commenters who have the opinion that she is just a pampered and spoiled First Daughter. It is also great to read when Sameera and her mum go undercover to visit a public school, because Sameera really wants a REAL school to go to, instead of a private school and tutor. and will everything will be happy in the end with her and Bobby?
This was just a great book! It is not the usual ya/teen fiction. This book has a message and a deaper meaning. It is also a book with message for better understanding of other cultures and that is what i really like to read! (since i was a kid , i am always interested in learning about other cultures) I am looking forward to read the other two books in the series, and hope to read the other books of Mitali too!
