Great book -- disappointing quality on this reprint edition

I have read and reread (and loved, especially the first one) all three Meghan Powers books in their original editions. I am grateful to Hawk Publishing for reprinting these three books (now called the "President's Daughter" series) so that more people can enjoy them, but I do feel that people should know that these reprints are not high quality. They are trade paperbacks with bindings that seem sturdy enough, but the text is not at all crisp -- in fact, it looks like the publisher may have enlarged the pages from the original mass market editions on a Xerox machine and then reprinted these new editions from those copies. I am basing this guess on the fact that the text looks enlarged and somewhat blurry.

The covers of all three of the reprint editions are hideous; the first one shows a girl who looks to be about 8 or 10 years old instead of a teenager, and the "White House Autumn" cover is not much better. The price is also steep at $14.95. I can excuse that on the basis that Hawk is probably a small press, and small presses find it hard to make ends meet.

If you can get past all that, these books are marvelous to read. "White House Autumn" continues to use Meg's unique voice and sense of humor. The book also deals with Meg's feelings of guilt when her mother is the subject of an assassination attempt. Again, I am grateful to Hawk for reprinting these, even if the quality is a little disappointing.

White House Autumn

This is a great book - the 2nd book in the 4-book series about Meg Powers. Ellen Emerson White is SUCH a good author - The entire series is fabulous. I first read this book back in high school years ago. It Is about Meg and her family - her mother has just become the first woman President of the USA. Meg and her brothers have to have Secret Servicemen with them now all the time, which makes life difficult, and it tells how Meg feels about being part of the first family and how she handles things. drama AND comedy. And Meg must handle another diffucult situation - her mother is shot by an assasin. The President lives - but she was injured very badly. The whole family struggles to recover along wth Meg's Mother, who remains the President.
The President's Daighter is the first Book, Then White House Autumn, then Long Live the Queen...and recently, I was excited to find out that after all of these years, White has written a final book - Long May She Reign! Fabulous - I have loved the entire series.

Great read for all ages!

Although this is technically a YA book, the only real "teen" thing about it is Meg's age. She, her siblings, parents and various White House personas are thoroughly fleshed out, as well as the multitude of psychological issues that come along with being the child of a president. White intertwines this with Meg's thoughts -- usually zany, humorous or sarcastic -- which keep it from ever becoming too serious.
