State of the Union: A Fina Mendoza Mystery
STATE OF THE UNION
內容簡介
A mysterious bird poops on the president's head during the State of the Union address. Can Fina Mendoza and her dog detective sidekicks outsmart the Capitol Police to find that bird and uncover its secret message?
Fina, the ten-year-old daughter of a congressman, is watching the State of the Union address from the gallery of the House of Representatives when a mysterious bird poops on the president's head! Is it Chickcharney, the legendary bird from the Caribbean that her friend in the snack shop told her about? Did it fly to Washington D.C. with a secret message for the president? Or Congress? Or is the message for Fina from her mom who passed away not so many months ago?
While she looks for clues, Congress is fighting over immigration reform. The battle becomes personal in Fina's multigenerational home when her grandmother is nearly arrested at an immigration protest.
Fina enlists the help of Senator Something, her canine Dr. Watson, and her new dog-walking client St. Sebastian to outsmart the Capitol Police and the Secret Service to find that bird and solve the mystery of its secret message.
