A mysterious break-in, a congressional lobbying effort about voting, and a sneaky way to get kids excited about the upcoming election…without the nastiness of politics.
In this special bonus episode of THE FINA MENDOZA MYSTERIES, our young detective is attending classes via Zoom. She and her classmates take on a genius project, researching a recent amendment that would allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote. She and her classmates ask, “Why stop at 16? Why not let them vote?”
They put the question to real-life Congressman Mark Takano (D-California) who approves of lowering the voting age to 16.
Meanwhile, Fina has another mystery to solve: who keeps breaking into their vacant classroom and trashing it? She checks in with her detecting partner, a canine called Senator Something, and visits the scene of the crime.
There is free curriculum related to the episode at the website finamendozamysteries.com.
