Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Marissa and Clara's mom is the newly elected president of the United States, and they haven't experienced much freedom lately. While exploring the White House they discover a hidden tunnel that leads to an underground clubhouse full of antique curiosities, doors heading in all directions--and a mysterious invitation to join the ranks of White House kids. So they sign the pledge.
Suddenly, the lights go out, and Marissa and Clara find themselves at the White House in 1903. There they meet Quentin, Ethel, Archie, and Alice, the irrepressible children of President Theodore Roosevelt. To get back home, Marissa and Clara must team up with the Roosevelt kids "to help the president" and "to make a difference."
White House Clubhouse is a thrilling and hilarious adventure that takes readers on an action-packed, cross-country railroad trip, back to the dawn of the twentieth century and the larger-than-life president at the country's helm.
"Their mom is the newly elected President of the United States, the Secret Service is always hovering nearby, and First Daughters Marissa and Clara don't expect they'll be venturing out anytime soon--until they discover a secret passage in the White House dining room and a candlelit clubhouse full of antique curiosities and mysterious doors. The candle blows out, a door opens, and the girls find themselves in the White House of President Teddy Roosevelt and his boisterous family. After helping sneak a pony upstairs in the new White House elevator--pursued by the President, wearing boxing gloves--they stow away on a cross-country whistlestop train journey, take on greedy industrialists, and help save California's redwood forest."-- Front jacket flap.
