The First Kids Mysteries
Cameron, Tessa and Nate are just your average American kids with your average American dog – except they happen to live in the White House. Cameron and Tessa are the daughters of the first woman president, and Nate is their cousin. Together, they’re the First Kids, and Hooligan is the first dog. In the first outing, The Case of the Rock'n'Roll Dog, the kids solve the baffling disappearance of a historic artifact.
