Está en las manos de Fina Mendoza, la hija de un congresista, encontrar a la verdadera serpiente en el césped.
Fina es la determinada y astuta protagonista Latina de diez años que resuelve misterios en el capitolio de EEUU con la ayuda de un gran perro anaranjado... y le enseña civismo a los niños. Libro 3 en Los Misterios de Fina Mendoza.

---- ENGLISH BOOK DESCRIPTION ----
Everybody's mad at everybody on Capitol Hill. Members call each other names on the floor of the House of Representatives. A former Speaker elbows a fellow lawmaker. And anybody who dares to work with someone in the other political party is punished. Now somebody's putting snakes in lawmaker gym bags and trash cans.
It's up to 10-year-old Fina Mendoza, the daughter of a Latino congressman, to find the real snake in the grass.
Snake in the Grass is book 3 in a great series for CIVICS EDUCATION.
