This book is part of the Real Kids, Real Places series by Carol Marsh. It gives kids the chance to learn more about George Washington, especially his life when he was not president. The kids in the story follow clues that seem to lead them to what seems to be previously unfound fake teeth from George Washington. The fact that it was about weird trivia will appeal to kids.
The ending was not predictable, but to be honest, I assumed it would play out to be some kind of joke. I think the book needed more of a sense of urgency. The ending also kind of felt too much like a Scooby Doo ending.
However, the information they provided was good, and more than just what you usually hear. I could see how kids would especially enjoy it if their family was planning a trip to Mount Vernon or had just gotten back.
