Volume 1: Citizenship
When Annie's father is called for jury duty, the family vacation is put on hold. Annie is very excited about taking a trip and she doesn't understand why her father can't just postpone his jury duty. Her complaint prompts several stories up at Plato's Peak about citizenship -- the civic virtue.
