In this third book in the adventure series, little Charlotte becomes the mayor of New York City - and everything gets better
With her leadership, the subways are perfect, the sirens are quiet, there is plenty of pizza, and artists make a fortune.
Is she dreaming?
"Charlotte is the perfect young hero for what is happening in our time. She has a wonderful imagination that she uses to enjoy herself and to create ways to help others. She wants to be the Mayor to make New York more beautiful, more efficient, and a place where one can make his or her fortune. In Charlotte's New York, even the Mayor can make time to sing."
-Greg Maro, entertainer.
"This charming book of the Mayor of New York City, with a small, light-hearted girl as her Honor, shifts my and readers' perceptions of the possible into the practical let-do-this (and soon) attitude. True, most NYC mayoral candidates cannot fly with the Statue of Liberty as chief support and advisor -- would that they could.
"Charlotte flits into all the major Manhattan popular spots from the High Line to the Grand Central subway. The delightful artwork adds a delicate touch of whimsy."The plot becomes a beloved souvenir to take back home and dream of doing. And the moral of what I wish wasn't just a fairy tale, is that girls can do anything, and will, relying on the spirit of our favorite mentor, the Statue of Liberty. The author holds high the flaming torch and passes it on. Just in time, seemingly."
-Garnette Arledge, author of Blessings, Hilda, Wise Secrets of Aloha, On Angel's Eve, and Night of the Mothers.
