Horn Book Review

After KC takes a tour of the Treasury, her stepfather, the president of the United States, tells her that $200,000 has been stolen. She enlists the aid of the president's clone (from an earlier book in the series) and catches the crook. The story, accompanied by stiff illustrations, moves quickly, but the stilted dialogue and far-fetched plot won't hold readers' attentions. (c) Copyright 2010.
