Clara in Washington

Author: Penny Tangey

Clara is in Washington.

Washington D.C. is meant to be all glamour, politics and great conversations but what do you do when you don't have the words to join in?  Or the knowledge to ride the subway?  Or you're scared someone will mug you?

Joining her mother on a trip to Washington is Clara's end-of-school adventure and a chance to be someone else other than the studious geek she's always been.  Although, starting an adventure is hard to do when you won't leave the house.

But Clara didn't count on meeting Campbell and his anarchist group and she didn't count on her new discoveries threatening to unravel all her plans.

Will she still be the same after Washington?
