February 03, 2009: Three friends Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose were in Washington D.C. with Dink's father. They met KC, the president's step-daughter, her friend Marshall, and Natasha, KC's dog. KC invited them all to go into the White House which was being decorated for Christmas. Natasha went missing. They finally found her in a florist's van stuffed inside a crate. The kids got locked in the back of the van and the driver started off. The driver went way out to the middle of nowhere. Suddenly there was a big slam and the van hit a snowbank. The kids kicked the van's back doors open. The snow was deep and heavy. They wondered if anyone would find them. If you want to know how they got home, read this book.
