Description
An unconventional tour of the US Capitol helps a girl understand how Congress works and why it's so important. When her mom gets elected to the US House of Representatives, Alice can't help feeling disappointed. She wonders what's so important about Congress that it would make her mom want to move all the way to Washington, DC. But with the aid of some famous historical figures, friendly government workers, and a ghostly cat, Alice sets off on a once-in-a-lifetime guided tour of the Capitol that opens her eyes to the ways Congress has shaped our nation throughout history, and how it continues to impact life for every American today.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Alice sets off solo, meeting a snarky spectral feline along with the ghost of James Madison, who explain the legislative branch's history and function...each of whom reveals more about governance and pivotal historical conflicts (the Civil War, the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack)." --Publishers Weekly
"...refreshingly frank overview." --Kirkus
