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.

so this book is super cute. it's about Liberty Porter, who's dad has been elected president and is moving into the white house. she's 9 years old, so very hyper and kind of all over the place, which is to be expected since her dad is the new president. the whole book takes place over one day, inauguration day, which is a bit strange.

Eh. I did this book for Mother-Daughter based on a girl in the club's recommendation. There wasn't much plot, and the author used way too many exclamation points, but there were fun factoids for kids about other presidential kids. While the pictures of Liberty in the book's art may lead you to believe this book is about Barack Obama's daughters, it's not. The president has no political affiliations at all and there is literally no political discussion. I'm hoping that our book club can see that and go with it. I have a feeling this will be a title that was enjoyed more by the girls than the mothers...

Also, yay for a Columbus author!

Started this one out. The idea behind it was exciting the writing was just not gripping us in. It was okay...maybe we will go back to it at another time or leave this as a read alone for my daughter.
