    About this ebook

    Mallory is in Washington, D.C., with her fourth grade class. She can't wait to see the famous monuments and museums. But from the moment she sets foot in the nation's capital, there's one thing she doesn't see much of . . . her best friend. Mary Ann is spending so much time with the new boy in their class, she's forgotten all about being partners with Mallory. And when Mallory wanders off to wiggle her loose tooth, her tooth isn't the only thing that is lost! Will Mallory's trip to Washington turn out to be one she'll always remember or something she'd rather forget?

      This is book number 11 in the Mallory series. I had never heard of them before this book. In thsi book, Mallory takes a class trip to Washington, D.C. She is so excited to be sharing this trip with her best friend Mary Ann. However, she finds that Mary Ann is spending the trip with her new boyfriend. Mallory is supposed to keep a journal of her trip and all of her experiences. This was an okay book with some okay historical information. I couldn't really get into it because I kept thinking that elementary kids could relate to it better. I am recommending it to a friend who teaches fourth grade. I think her kids will really like it.

    on the Bus

    ON THE BUS ON THE WAY TO W.D.C.!

    Dear Trip Journal,

    The wheels on the bus go around and around and around. And Mr. Knight says they have to go around a whole lot more because we have a long way to go before we get to Washington. That’s the bad news.

    The good news is that he’s passing out doughnuts.

    G.2.G.E.D. (That’s short for got 2 go eat doughnuts.)

    Mallory

    P.S. It’s not so easy to write while you’re on a moving bus. It’s also not so easy to write when your best friend (Mary Ann, in case you didn’t know who I was talking about) is asleep on you. C B Lo 2 C what I mean.

    STILL ON THE BUS,

    STILL ON THE WAY TO W.D.C.

    Dear Trip Journal,

    10 things I have done since the last time I wrote in you:

    #1 EATEN one plain, one chocolate, and one blueberry-filled doughnut. This sounds easy, but it wasn't because I have a loose tooth on the left side of my mouth. My friend Pamela Brooks's advice: chew the doughnuts on the right side. Also not so easy.

    #2 REFUSED to be a human pillow.

    #3 PLAYED Go Fish, Hearts, and Solitaire. (It is even harder to play cards on a bus than it is to write in a journal.)

    #4 TRIED to pay attention while Mrs. Brooks (Pamela’s mother and our official trip chaperone) read us the history of the White House. Also not so easy to do as the White House has a VERY long history, and Mrs. Brooks read us every bit of it.

    #5 TALKED to lots of people on this bus including: April, Joey, Pamela, Dawn, Zoe, Sammy, and C-Lo (a.k.a. Carlos Lopez— cute, new boy from Mexico whom I had a crush on and who I think would have had one back on me except that Mary Ann claimed him first). I didn’t actually talk to him. Mary Ann did. But I sat next to her while she did.

    #6 GONE to the bathroom (4 times). How cool is it that there is a bathroom on this bus?

    #7 READ three magazines.

    #8 FILLED OUT one magazine questionnaire (with Mary Ann) about finding your soul mate. According to our answers, hers is right here on this bus and mine is in Australia.

    #9 TAKEN pictures of people on the bus. Most of the people were awake and smiling (like Pamela), but some were asleep and snoring (like Joey). Here’s a fact: Awake and smiling people look better in pictures than asleep and snoring ones. (I’m leaving a space to put in pictures so you can see what I mean.)

    #10 LISTENED to Max’s iPod, which I still can’t believe he let me bring on this trip. (Note to
