Books for Today: First Daughter


Don't you ever wonder what's going on in those white house halls?

The First Daughter books by Mitali Perkins are about the daughter of a politician. The first book, Extreme American Makeover, takes a look at how the presidential campaign affects the candidate's family as his daughter Sameera aka Sparrow blogs about the experience and tries to keep her privacy and her independence. White House Rules continues Sameera’s story, following her family into the famous home. These would make for interesting reads right now as our new president elect has two young daughters that will kind of grow up before our eyes.


Or maybe you're more interested in local politics, as in SCHOOL politics. If so, the book Total Knockout: Tale of an Ex-Class President by Taylor Morris might be just your thing.

'Tis the season to be reading about politics of some sort!
