The President's Daughter

Summary: Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Review: As a teenager, I must have read this book 2 or 3 times a year! I'm now 26, and I still have it on my bookshelf, although I've lost my copy of its sequel. I highly recommend this novel for any young woman...Girl Power at its best!

Summary: President's Daughter
Review: Despite the raving reviews for this book from other customers, I believe that this book was poorly written. While most books choose 1st person or 3rd person point of view, this book chooses neither. It constantly jumps around and you never know who is speaking or thinking because there isn't a constant point of view. 'She' is used so often that you are never quite sure exactly which 'she' the author is refering to. The books plot could have been better developed by going into the characters emotions more methodically than 'she threw a fit'. Although the books plot about the first American female President's daughter would have been a good one it was poorly represented in this book.

Summary: The reviews did not lie!
Review: I bought this book based on other reviews and the plot seemed interesting enough. I LOVED this book and could not put it down. The characters are lively, the dialogue very fun to read, and the story line was original. I challenge anyone to read this book and not fall in love with the President's family. They're witty, likable, yet they have their problems like any normal family. A wonderful read. You'll definitely want to read the 2 sequels after this one. I know I do! Good luck finding them though. They're out of print and I'm still searching.

Summary: Story is great but this reprint is low quality
Review: I first read The President's Daughter in 1984 (I was 9 at the time). And I loved it!!! A few years later the other 2 books (White House Autumn and Long Live the Queen) came out. I am 26 now and I still love these books. They are all falling apart and my copy of the President's Daughter is bound with a hair rubberband. Hawk Publishing group reprinted all 3 books in August; the cover art is different from the original but the text itself is unaltered. These books not only suggest unlimited potential for little girls, who are future world leaders, but also explore the complex relationships and emotions within 2 income families. The characters are much richer than those found in other pre-teen series, such as the Sweet Valley High series for example. I highly recommend these books to women of all ages!!

Summary: my nightstand standby
Review: I keep this book as well as Long Live the Queen next to my bed at all times because i just read them over and over. I don't even read them from cover to cover, I'll just open it up and read some and the next night start at a different place. I LOVE THESE BOOKS! and can't believe I lost my copy of White House Autumn. I have even considered writing White for even an photocopy of it that I could bind. You'll love this book and all the ones in the series. Did I mention I have read it so many times I know when the typos are coming? I'm hooked -- I beg anyone who reads this and knows someone at Scholastic to bring back White House Autumn and to keep these in print.

Summary: Poignant, hilarious, and true-to-life
Review: The trilogy (The President's Daughter, White House Autumn, and Long Live the Queen) are my three favorite books from childhood...and some of the only ones I've kept and continue to re-read even now, at age 26. Ellen Emerson White succeeds in capturing the complexity of growing up and of relating to family and friends. But this isn't a book full of angst and self-pity! It's a joyous, funny portrait of a young lady who is coming into her own...the bumps in her life are not glossed over, but dealt with fairly and accurately. It's a timeless story, a pleasure to read at any age. I always wished for another couple books about Meg and her family.

Summary: I love this book!
Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time, with Long Live the Queen ranking just slightly higher. I've searched high and low for White House Autumn, but have been unable to find it. I've written Scholastic, looked all over the net. Please, please, please, Scholastic...publish these books again!!!! I think that a whole new generation would embrace this story . . . and wonder why, 16 years after the original publication, we seem no nearer to having a woman as President.

Summary: wow! I'm hooked!
Review: When I had to read a political book for 6th grade english, my first reaction was-yeuchh! Politics! After reading this book, not only was I hooked on the series, I knew more about politics. This book was funny and related to any teenager who read it. Mrs. White is an amazing author. I could almost feel how Meg was feeling.I've checked Long Live The Queen out of the library at least three times, and I've been trying to get my hands on White House Autumn for a year! Thank you, Mrs. White, for writing such wonderful, touching, enchanting books.

Summary: I've read this book 24 times...nuff said
Review: White's "The President's Daughter" is undoubtedly one of the best books I've ever come across. Although there are 3 books in the series, most readers will enjoy the first book the most. Meg, a 16-year-old sophomore, is the focus of this book about a woman running for president in the early 80s. When her mother wins, Meg is thrown into a humorous and crazy whirlwind of political activities in addition to struggling with boy problems and french homework. She is one of the most endearing heroines in modern literature and her mother, Katharine Powers, exemplifies girl power. I first read this book in 5th grade and immediately fell in love with it. Now a sophomore in high school, I've read it at least 24 times and I find myself laughing through the whole book every time, even though I know most of the book by heart. In fact, I've got 2 copies of the novel because the pages fell out of my first copy after I reread it for the 12th time. I encourage all readers, especially females interested in politics, to take the effort to find the (sadly) out-print-novel. It is one of the best I've ever read.
