In this hilarious follow-up to BEN FRANKLIN’S IN MY BATHROOM!, history and hijinks collide once more when Eleanor Roosevelt accidentally time travels to a ten-year-old’s home in 21st-century America!
When Eleanor Roosevelt time travels to Nolan and Olive’s house in modern-day Illinois, the kids don’t know who she is at first. After all, she’s old and wearing a hairnet. But the First Lady of the United States–some 80 years ago, that is– isn’t a mystery for long when she starts spouting things like “You must do the things you think you cannot do.” Fresh off a visit from Ben Franklin, Nolan and Olive know what they’re in for with this latest guest: an adventure. From drawing on ideals of civil protest to save the town park, to (almost) doing a loop-de-loop in a single-engine plane, to avoiding that know-it-all snoop Tommy Tuttle, there’s one laugh after the next in this second book in the History Pals series. Fun back matter expands the story and unpacks the amazing life of Eleanor Roosevelt.
