The Case of the Rock 'n' Roll Dog / Martha Freeman / 116 pages

"So far so bad,"  so says Cameron whose mom is president of the United States.  She does not do well in school.  Her spelling is atrocious.  She resents her cousin, Nate, who is perfect and who lives in the White House because his mom, Aunt Jenn, is the First Lady - a function Cam's dad cannot fulfill.  Cameron and her 7-year-old sister, Tess, solve the mystery of the missing baton.  The White House is preparing for a private concert by the Song Boys to promote literacy.  When the President's Own Marine Band director's baton goes missing - among other things, the girls determine to find it.  Great White House facts, as well as information on the Marine Band and John Phillips Sousa are presented.
