Season 2 of The Fina Mendoza Mysteries podcast is based on the book State of the Union, by Kitty Felde, published by Chesapeake Press. You can pick up a copy at your local bookstore or ask your local public library to order a copy to add to their collection. And if you want an autographed copy of State of the Union, check out the website Chesapeakepress.org. That’s also where you can find out more about the cast and crew of the Fina Mendoza Mysteries. It’s also where you can find a free download of the 56-page Teacher’s Guide to the book and the podcast just by signing up for our newsletter which includes the facts behind the fiction in the Fina Mendoza Mysteries. It’s also a sneaky way to introduce civics education to elementary school students.
