White House Clubhouse by Sean O’Brien
“In this book, Marissa and Clara live in the White House. Ever since their mom got elected, they have had Secret Service agents following them around. When they finally get a break, they find a secret room that helps them travel in time. Join their adventures. 9/10. Fun to read!” — Allison H., age 13
Marissa and Clara’s mom is the newly elected president of the United States, and they haven’t experienced much freedom lately. While exploring the White House they discover a hidden tunnel that leads to an underground clubhouse full of antique curiosities, doors heading in all directions—and a mysterious invitation to join the ranks of White House kids. So they sign the pledge.
Suddenly, the lights go out, and Marissa and Clara find themselves at the White House in 1903. There they meet Quentin, Ethel, Archie, and Alice, the irrepressible children of President Theodore Roosevelt. To get back home, Marissa and Clara must team up with the Roosevelt kids “to help the president” and “to make a difference.”
