From the back: KC Corcoran always watches the news. So it’s no surprise that she notices right away when the president starts acting funny on TV. He’s stiff and awkward. He’s even signing papers with the wrong hand. There’s only one explanation–the president has been cloned! And it’s up to KC and her best friend, Marshall, to save him.

Mine: Seems like this could be a great series for my nephew who love mysteries. This is written by the same person who writes the Alphabet Mysteries. How often do you get a report to write about a president and then get to save his life? Fortunely KC notices a newcast that there is something wrong when the President signs a law. Can she and Marshall find the real President in time?
