    About this ebook

    What would it be like if you lived in the White House? Dee Dee, Jose, and Annie are about to find out! When their class takes a field trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the three accidentally knock George Washington out of his portrait and into real life, which turns their everyday tour into an unexpected adventure! As they try to get the nation's first President back into his painting, the kids come across other famous White House residents, including Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, Dolley Madison, and Jackie Kennedy. Through their madcap journey, they realize that the White House isn't just a tourist attraction--it's also a home.

      Age: IntermediateGenre: Modern FantasyThe theme of this book is modern fantasy because the events in the story are impossible to happen in real life, but they seem real in the story. The three children are just like normal kids, but they travel through time in the White House with George Washington creating modern fantasy.

    THE PRESIDENT’S SHOES

    * * * DEE * * *

    No cell phones?

    It had to be some kind of joke. I mean, my cell phone is like my second mouth. Or my third ear. Or my fourth nostril. Okay, that’s random, but you get the idea. I need my cell phone. And she was telling me I couldn’t use it?

    She was short and chunky—my mom would say full figured—and when she talked, she sounded like a textbook. I am not kidding. Can you say boring? She was in charge of our tour group, which meant we were stuck with her for the next couple of hours. She had told us to call her Ms. Letter. Excuse me? That’s not a name. It’s a school supply.

    No cell phones? What planet was she from? What kind of place was this, anyway? What had I gotten myself into?

    I’m Diana, from the cool town of Hotlanta, Georgia. But you can call me Dee-Dee, or Dee. You can also call me Dimples, Lady Dee, or Diamond.

    I live in the suburbs in a brand-new house with a brand-new yard. And since my dad’s promotion, we got a brand-new car and stopped mowing our brand-new lawn. My dad says he spent his youth mowing lawns, and he is never doing it again. So we pay for a fancy service to cut our grass every week.

    We have four bathrooms, and one of them is mine. I’m an only child, which is great because I have my very own everything. If I haven’t mentioned it yet, I’ll tell you now. It rocks to be
