Mandie's return to school after her eventful Christmas vacation finds her not knowing whether she will be able to accept President McKinley's invitation to the White House. After a long talk, Grandmother Taft agrees to accompany her to Washington where they will be joined by Joe and Sallie.
The first night at the White House, Mandie hears something in the hallway and is convinced that she sees George Washington who's been dead for over one hundred years! The nights that follow she sees him again in different places.
Mandie's mystery is about to turn into a gigantic surprise!
I think the parts about George Washington and the 'threat' is very funny. But I don't understand why Mandie and Celia are afraid of elevators. But I guess in those days you couldn't be certain of anything.Finally, Mandie and Celia have a spat. It may seem petty, but I sympathize with Celia. After all, Mandie did say that Celia could tell. But it turns out all right in the end.This book is very good on the whole and I recommend it.
