Employed as a house servant by President and Mrs. John Adams, 13-year-old Hannah accompanies the First Lady from Massachusetts to Philadelphia and then to the nation’s new capital. Vivid narrative, period illustrations, and Hannah’s correspondence with her brother, Daniel, a printer’s apprentice, give today’s kids an eyewitness look at the presidential household and the nation-shaping events that took place in 1800. Readers see the growing resistance to the Sedition Act, which curtailed free speech; the bitter party politics waged by both Federalists and Republicans in the presidential election; the ultimate triumph of Thomas Jefferson; and the bloodless transfer of power. In an engaging and highly visual presentation, this firsthand story will help kids understand the challenges our nation faced as it struggled to make democracy work.
