Meg Powers is just a normal teenager living in Boston with her father, mother, and two younger brothers, Steven and Neal. All of this is turned upside down when Meg's mom, who is a Senator, runs for President. President of the United States, that is. And the worst part is that Senator Powers actually has a shot at winning.
As if being the daughter of the first female President wasn't enough, Meg has to deal with moving to a new house, going to a new school, finding new friends, and having to figure out how to deal with the whole Secret Service thing. With a few bumps along the road, Meg not only discovers more about herself, but she also learns things about her mom -- the President of the United States -- that not many people know about.
Ellen Emerson White writes an interesting story of a teenage girl living in the politics of D.C. What makes this book so compelling is that while readers may not be able to relate to the whole mother-running-for-President part, they can relate to a teenage girl dealing with a somewhat difficult mother, annoying brothers, and new surroundings.
With THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER being the first in the series, the other books are sure to be just as pleasing and entertaining as the first.
