Nine-year-old Liberty Porter is excited about the being First Daughter of the United States of America, but she is also afraid she is going to fail the job. She does not want to let the rest of the children in her country down since she is supposed to represent them to the world. She has studied up on the duties of the president and the history of children in the White House and hopes she can measure up. After the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, Liberty enjoys the parade, but she also wants to explore her new home with her dog Franklin. Soon enough she is set to explore, much to the consternation of Ms. Crum, her dad's Chief of Staff. But Liberty charms one and all with her antics and makes friends with a boy whose mother works for the president. There is lots of history mentioned in this book, plus facts about the White House and its occupants. The story is told with lots of humor and energy. Reviewer: Sarah Maury Swan
School Library Journal
Gr 2–4—It's nine-year-old Liberty Porter's first official day at the White House. Her dad is being inaugurated as President of the United States and she is beyond excited. She wants to be the best First Daughter ever. It doesn't take long, however, before she gets in trouble with the chief of staff as she blurts out answers to questions at a press conference and disguises herself as a tour guide. Because her intentions are good—she wants to help others and make the White House a welcoming place for everyone—she is forgiven by her parents and embraced in a "family hug." Sometimes a little over-the-top in its effort to be cute and kidlike, the book does hit the mark for how a youngster might approach some of the overwhelming elements of living in the White House. Though sometimes misguided, Liberty is an engaging character whose heart is in the right place. She also knows a lot of interesting presidential facts, which she spouts throughout the book. Classy illustrations depict the child, her parents, and pets. With interest high because of the Obama First Daughters, this chapter book will appeal to many children, including reluctant readers.—Tina Martin, Arlington Heights Memorial Library, IL
