Aunt Jen, the official White House hostess, is being thrown a surprise party with a Wizard of Oz theme. A dog that looks just like Toto will be there — and so will the famous ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in the movie. But when the box arrives from the Smithsonian Museum, the slippers aren't in it! Never fear, First Kids Cammie and Tessa are on the case. White House dog Hooligan finds one slipper, but no one know where or how. A surprising revelation reveals the thief's identity. Filled with humor and White House inside information, this third First Kids Mystery is exciting from start to finish.

      Gr 3-5-Cammie and Tessa Parks are the daughters of the first female President of the United States. Their Aunt Jen lives at the White House with them, and her friend is throwing a surprise Wizard of Oz-themed birthday party for her. Disaster strikes when the borrowed ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland go missing. Will the girls find the Smithsonian's prized treasure in time for the party? Random facts are woven throughout. The story will appeal to children who love mysteries and the information about parties at the White House is interesting and funny.

      Grades 2-4 White House siblings Cammie and Tess (their mother is president) return to solve another case in the latest installment of the First Kids Mystery series, and this time it involves Judy Garland's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. The kids' aunt Jen, who lives at the White House, is being thrown a birthday party, and the Oz theme is the reason for the ruby slippers to be at the party. Or is it? Then, to everyone's horror, the real slippers disappear and the sibs set out to uncover both the thief and the motive. The mystery is convoluted, but the culprit is simple to identify. The cast of characters is so large that readers may forget who's who from time to time. Yet as in The Case of the Rock n' Roll Dog (2010) and The Case of the Diamond Dog Collar (2011), Freeman has picked a topic that will interest young readers, and this, along with endearing charactersboth kid and caninewill keep pages turning.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)

      In First Kids Cammie and Tessa's third mystery, the White House is borrowing something from the Smithsonian for their [cf2]Wizard of Oz[cf1]themed party: the ruby slippers. But the shoes disappear before they even arrive. The story is on the predicable side, but middle-graders will appreciate the abundance of clues to help them figure out the mystery before the resolution is revealed.
