Synopsis
The adventures of Liberty Porter, First Daughter continue in the second book in the series—now in paperback!
Children's Literature
When we last saw Liberty Porter she had just moved into the White House; now, in book two, Liberty has to start at a new school—in the middle of the year! Nervous and excited Liberty gets ready for her second First Day of School in one year. Many of her family's traditions have a slight twist this time around, like having the official White House photographer take her picture as she heads off to school; though some, like her dad making pancakes, stay the same. New Girl in Town covers the first two days Liberty is at her new school. It is not always easy for Liberty but her humor and determination help her settle in to her new school and new town. As First Daughter Liberty realizes there are lots of perks—chocolate shop, bowling alley, long hallways to slide down—but also many burdens, including getting all of her classmates to treat her normally. This takes some work but Liberty always stays true to herself and does not let pushy students influence her. As in the first book, Liberty knows a lot of American history and always loves to learn more. This makes for a winning combination and even though Liberty Porter is an extraordinary girl she remains relatable and is sure to appeal to young girls. It is not necessary to have read book one to understand book two. Reviewer: Emily Griffin
