The Election-Day Disaster by Ron Roy

 
The Election-Day Disaster (Capitol Mysteries) by Ron Roy
, 87 pages. Random House, Inc. CHAPTER BOOK. 

 EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

 KC is one lucky girl. Her stepfather is the president of the United States and this year he is letting her have a big Halloween party at the White House. Everything goes great until the media get a hold of some pictures from the party that could cost her stepfather his re-election. It’s up to KC and her friend, Marshall to discover who is behind the pictures and why someone would want to spoil the president’s re-election. Will they be able to solve the mystery before election day or will KC find herself living somewhere other than the White House? 

 Although not as fast-paced as some of the books for this age group, this is a good, easy-to-read mystery for those who enjoyed reading the A to Z Mysteries series by this author or, in general, like this genre. Drawings are well done and do a good job of complementing the story. This book would make a great addition to any collection, especially if that collection has a large number of mystery readers. I would also recommend White House White-out by Ron Roy (a book that crosses over between the two series).
