Grant, Weng-Ho, and Seve go on a field trip to Warm Springs and the Little White House. They learn about "FDR," polio, and a Creek Indian legend. At first they are sad to learn about a disease kids once got, the Great Depression, and what an iron lung is. But soon they realize that hope is not lost if you believe things can be better! The discovery of real Indian arrowheads helps them solve the puzzle of what it means-and does not mean-to be "handicapped."
Like all of Carole Marsh's Mysteries, this mystery incorporates history, geography, culture and cliffhanger chapters that will keep kids begging for more! This mystery includes SAT words, educational facts, fun and humor, built-in book club and activities.
