The second title in the Capital Mysteries series (a Road to Reading book) finds K. C. Corcoran and her best friend Marshall Li searching Washington, D.C., for K. C.'s mom and President Zacary Thornton, who mysteriously disappear while the two kids are buying ice cream at the Cherry Blossom Festival. Off the children go, searching buildings on both sides of the Mall and following clues that lead them inside the National Air and Space Museum. In a crazy plot that features a presidential clone, bold janitors and disgruntled astronauts, K. C and Marshall solve the perplexing conundrum. This is a fun, accessible mystery for new readers. Attractive gray-wash illustrations appear throughout, and a map of the nation's capital is included.
