Description
Adventure, history, and the drama of family life intertwine in this engrossing tale of a fifth-grade girl struggling to find her place after her mom remarries and she finds herself stuck with a younger stepbrother. Find out what happens when Ava and her newly blended family take a trip to Boston, where she buys a magic bobblehead and is unexpectedly transported to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As Ava and her stepbrother, J. P., travel back and forth with John and Abigail Adams and their children, from Massachusetts, to Philadelphia, to the White House, to France, she learns about history, friendship, and how to deal with new situations, including her recently blended family. This sequel to The President and Me: George Washington and the Magic Hat features some of the same characters.
Reviews / Votes
"Fifth-grader Ava is struggling to figure out where she belongs in her newly-blended family. Her mom got remarried and she now has a stepfather and new brother. They decide to take a family trip to Boston where she buys a bobblehead of president John Quincy Adams. This was no ordinary bobblehead as it magically transports her and her brother, J.P. back in time to the 18th and 19th centuries where they meet John and Abigail Adams. They encounter history in the making, get close to actual battles, and learn much about how America became the great country it is. This book teaches history in a fun-to-read format through an exciting story. (Ages 8-12)" -- Midwest Book ReviewMore details
