To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet someone who worked very hard at becoming a prima ballerina: Anna Pavlova. Xavier follows along with Anna as she keeps on trying until she first gets into ballet school, then dances in her very first show, then makes it all the way to the big stage as a prima ballerina! Watching Anna get back up and dust herself off after each stumble encourages Xavier to keep working on his magic tricks because when you love something, you have to keep trying.

## Broadcast

This episode aired along with its sister episode, I Am Jackie Robinson on January 20, 2020, at 9:00 AM EST.

It no longer airs and Anna Pavlova was taken along with it, but is still available on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, and YouTube TV.

## Trivia

* Anna Pavlova's lesson was revealed beforehand on the Hero Maker game.
* A bit of classical music plays in the opening sequence, such as The Nutcracker: Overture in the opening sequence.

## I Am Abraham Lincoln

### Air date

* Early 2021 (Italy)
* April 7, 2021 (USA)

## Plot

Yadina is horrified when part of the playset she borrowed from her friend drops down into the sewer. She doesn’t want her friend to get angry, so what should Yadina do? To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet one of Yadina’s personal heroes: Abraham Lincoln. When we meet a young Abe, he is reading a book that he borrowed from his neighbor, one that soon becomes ruined when a leak in his roof drips rainwater all over it. Abe is distressed about the accident, but it doesn’t take him long to realize what he needs to do: tell his neighbor the truth about what happened. Watching Abe own up to his mistake inspires Yadina to do the same because even when it’s hard, it’s important to always be honest.

## Characters

* Xavier Riddle
* Yadina Riddle
* Brad Meltzer (character)
* Berby
* Dr. Zoom
* Abraham Lincoln
* Annika
* Josiah Crawford

## Trivia

* The plot of the episode is different from the Ordinary People Change the World book. The book is about Abe's kindness, while the episode is about Abe's honesty.
* Once Abraham Lincoln borrowed *Ramsey's Life of Washington* from Josiah Crawford, a neighbor. When the rain ruined it, he had to repay him by stripping corn for three days.
* Much like she had a crush on George Washington in I Am George Washington, Yadina is enamored with Lincoln, blushing around him and even forgetting her name. She even says that he's her favorite president.

**I Am Alexander Graham Bell** is an episode of *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum*.

## Synopsis

Losing his voice is frustrating enough for Brad, but it doesn't help when Xavier and Yadina do all the talking for him instead of trying to listen. To the Secret Museum! Brad takes his friends back in time to meet someone who worked his whole life to help people be heard: Alexander Graham Bell. Watching Alexander first help his deaf mother, then his whole school of deaf students, have their voices heard in any way they can, helps Xavier and Yadina realize that they should've tried harder to listen to Brad, even when they couldn't technically hear him. It's important to always listen to everyone.

* Brad Meltzer
* Dr. Zoom

* Helen Keller (cameo)

* George (I Am Alexander Graham Bell)

## Trivia

* When the kids were going down the pole & warping through time, Brad's lines, "Hi, Berby" & "Wooooah!" were muted due to losing his voice in this episode.

She would have been ~16 when the trio met her in 1946, and at the time would have only been named **Dolores Clara Fernandez** (she is the daughter of Juan Fernández and Alicia Chávez) because she did not marry her first husband Ralph Head (with whom she had five children) until college, and her 2nd husband Ventura Huerta (with whom she had two) until after that.

## Trivia

* After the divorce from her 2nd husband (whose surname Dolores kept) she had an unmarried romance (and four more children) with Richard Chavez, the brother of Cesar Chavez. This made them similar to siblings-in-law, though not technically, since there was no marriage between Richard and Dolores.
* In real life, Dolores was a baton-twirler ("majorette") for a team at Stockton High School, as well as being a member of the Girl Scouts. It's not clear if this team was a component of a marching band though.

Anna's teacher

**Anna's teacher** refers to the un-named and non-speaking ballet teacher seen instructing Anna Pavlova during 1891 at her first year of ballet school in the episode I Am Anna Pavlova.

This is likely intended to be Ekaterina Vazem (aka Yekaterina Vazem) who is the only female teacher known to have instructed Pavlova at the Imperial Ballet School. Born in 1848, she would have been 43 years old at the time she taught Anna.

Helen's escort

An **escort** for Helen Keller appears in the 2nd time travel in I Am Alexander Graham Bell (after June 1886) to lead Helen away from Alexander Graham Bell.

It might be intended to be Helen's father Arthur H. Keller as he was the one who sought out Bell to help his daughter in the first place. Bell was referred by J. Julian Chisolm who was recommended by Helen's mother

Helen also had three elder stepbrothers (they were paternal half-brothers, Arthur's children from a previous marriage) named William Simpson and James McDonald, so it could have also been one of them. Or possibly her younger brother Phillip Brooks if this was meant to take place much later (as Keller and Bell remained friends for life and visited regularly)

Given that Helen seems to be able to understand signs that Alexander does on her palm, this was likely not their first 1886 meeting, since it was the subsequent teaching in 1887 by Anne Sullivan (from a school Bell recommended, the Perkins Institute for the Blind which educated Laura Bridgman) which actually lead to her understanding signs more thoroughly.

Prior to Anne, Helen did understand some basic gestures from Martha Washington (the six-year-old daughter of the family cook) so it's possible Bell might've learned of these (by age seven, Helen had at least 60 home signs that the family was taught

Confucius

**Kong Qui**, most commonly known as **Confucius** was a Chinese philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period. The philosophy of Confucius, also known as Confucianism, gave prominence to personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice, kindness, and sincerity.

He has a book from the Tie-in Books series about him, and appeared in an episode of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum called I Am Confucius.

He is voiced by Ian Ho.

Xavier points out his statue and mimics his pose in Secret Movie.

## Trivia

Confucius's Golden Rule is "Treat everyone the way you wanted to be treated"
Great-Great Grandma Riddle

Info
**Quote**
**Gallery**

**Great-Great Grandma Riddle** (voiced by Teresa Pavlinek) appears in Xavier Riddle and the Secret Movie: I Am Madam President.

She is the one of the great-great grandmothers of Xavier and Yadina.

She co-founded the Museum atop The Secret Museum, and can appear as a hologram projected by Berby despite having passed away.

She shares many similarities to her great-great granddaughter, Yadina Riddle; both wear pink, both make jokes, both like cheese and grape jelly sandwiches, and both like turtles.

In I Am Zelia Nuttall, Xavier is given a puzzle belonging to his great-great grandparents for his birthday, and it has their picture inside it.

## Bloodline

It is not initially clarified in the film whether she is their ancestor on the maternal or paternal side of the family. However since she bore the surname "Riddle" this indicates it would be whichever side of the family (mother or father) the surname originated. That is traditionally the father's side (with wives taking husband's surname) but this is not always practised in modern marriages, and it is never clarified on the show.

Eventually it is clarified in the series of family photographs at the end of I Am Rukmini Devi that it is from the father's side of the family.

## Cofounder

 File:PaintingEntrance.png
Great-Great Grandpa Riddle is the logical name for the man shown beside her in the painting, since they are referred to as "our great-great grandparents". Xavier says they built the ENTIRE museum, which is probably the sole other party who the Tour Guide implies when describing GGGM Riddle as "one of the founders". If the two built the entire thing by themselves, there would be no additional parties. Xavier of course could be simplifying things as they might've just been in charge of construction and had assistance from builders.
Brian

**Gallery**

**Brian** (voiced by Davide Fair: only named in the closed captions and credits) is a bully who appears in I Am Jackie Robinson and I Am Theodore Roosevelt. He attends school along with Xavier, Yadina, Brad, Charlie, Jin, Harper, Tyler, and Jamie.

He doesn't allow anyone who doesn't have a puppy-dog coat like he does play on the swings. His discrimination against Yadina Riddle prompts Yadina to discriminate against the kid in a green coat. After learning a moral lesson from Jackie Robinson, Yadina reforms him (and herself) at the end of the episode.

He also made another appearance in the episode, I Am Nellie Bly. In the online short "Stand Up", he teased Brad Meltzer (character) and Yadina for drawing comics.
Hero Maker

**Hero Maker** is a game on the official website of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.

In the game, the player can make their own hero with a given number of hats, hair-styles, skin tones, facial expressions, and shoes.

After the player is done, they can add their hero to a poster with a quote (ex: "I am kind.") or a poster featuring the hero with a real life one.

The game was released in November 2019, before the premiere of the show. It was updated in March 2020 to add the heroines from I Am Madam President, excluding Sally Ride. It was updated again in February 2021 to add various black heroes. In January 2023, it was updated to add various heroes from Season 2, including ones from episodes that hadn't aired at the time.

Great-Great Grandpa Riddle

Info
**Quote**
**Gallery**

**Great-Great Grandpa Riddle** (or **GGGP**) is the logical thing to call the partner of Great-Great Grandma Riddle (or GGGM), a man seen standing beside her in a painting at the start of Secret Movie.

Yadina Riddle pointed at the painting and said "our very own great-great grandparents", with Xavier Riddle elaborating that "they build the whole museum together" referring to The Secret Museum.

This appears to be the same man seen in a painting on the wall in many episodes, which the kids use to enter the Secret Museum hidden underneath the Riddle Museum, which is open to the public. In the movie, this painting is replaced with a painting of the grandma done in a similar style: seated in a chair with a pet and wearing period clothing.

It is not 100% certain that his name surname would actually be Riddle, though that would be likely if they were married: it is not explicitly stated that the Riddles siblings' GGGM was married to their GGGPA, but that would be common practice going back four generations to a previous century.

This man bears a strong resemblance to series creator Brad Meltzer who Brad Meltzer (character) is based upon. This can especially be seen in the adult version of Brad who is seen near the end of the Secret Movie attending Yadina's inauguration. The only difference seems to be that adult Brad has some visible short hair, and is not completely bald (or shaven-headed).

Also resembling GGGP and adult Brad is a man briefly shown at the end of I Am Eleanor Roosevelt. He resembles GGGP more since he is fully bald and doesn't have visibly short buzzcut hairline.

Yadina's reference to grandparentsthe present-day visitor to the museum, with girl in towXavier credits him and her with building entire museum
During I Am Charlie Chaplin, there is also a similar-looking bald man in the audience watching Hannah Chaplin sing.

This man appearing in different time periods could be explained by him having similar access to time travel as the Riddles do now, and which their GGGM previously enjoyed.

In I Am Zelia Nuttall, Xavier is given a puzzle belonging to his great-great grandparents for his birthday, and it has their picture inside it.

## He had a son

I Am Rukmini Devi shows photos of him and his wife together and reveals they had a son.

No other children are shown, so presumably Yadina's great grandma was that son's wife.

He appeared on an episode of *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum* called I Am Cesar Chavez.

He is voiced by Ian Ho.

Since he was met in 1942, he would have been ~15 years old.

1942 is also the year he met his future wife Helen Fabela: they married in October 1948.

Anna Pavlova

Info
**Quote**
**Gallery**

**Anna Pavlova**, born Anna Matveyevna Pavlova, was a Russian prima ballerina of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. She was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev.

She does not have an Ordinary People Change the World book, but she appeared in an episode of *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum* called I Am Anna Pavlova.

Born in 1881 and met in 1891, she would be approximately 10 years old when meeting the Riddles for the first time, and then sixteen years later she'd be 26 when they visit her in 1907.

She is voiced by Elizabeth Gnidash.

## Background

Anna had applied for the Imperial Ballet School at 9 and been rejected for looking sickly, but had been accepted the following year, so the Riddles would've met her during her first year as a student.

The school was run by Marius Petipa, and Anna's teacher seen in the episode is likely meant to be Ekaterina Vazem, since her other teacher Pavel Gerdt was male like Marius.

Her swan Jack Pavlova is shown in a photograph at the end.

## Trivia

* closed captions describe the sound Brad Scott makes to seeing her dance in 1907 as "dreamy sigh"

Eleanor Roosevelt

Info
**Quote**
**Gallery**

**Eleanor Roosevelt** was an American political figure, diplomat and activist. She served as the First Lady of the United States from March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945, during her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four terms in office, making her the longest-serving First Lady of the United States.

She does not have an Ordinary People Change the World book, but she appeared in an episode of *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum* called I Am Eleanor Roosevelt.

Met in 1902, she would be approximately 18 years old upon meeting the Riddles.

The second time the Riddles meet her is when she is living in the White House as First Lady, so sometime between March 1933 and April 1945. She also mentions hosting her own radio show, which began 9 July 1934, putting her somewhere between 49 and 60 years old.

She is voiced by Maryanne Gilbert.

## Etymology

She was born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, but more commonly went by her middle name. She did not change her surname when she married Franklin Roosevelt in 1905 (at ~21 years old) because he had the same last name as her: they were fifth cousins once removed.

## Appearance

Eleanor is the only character in the show with visible teeth. This is likely because she is known for having large teeth and an overbite in her earlier days.

She actually made reference to her family's large teeth in a 16 August 1946 account:

*I had to spend three and a half hours at the dentist's this morning. A great many years ago, on the steps of the station in Utica, when I was on my way to make a speech one wintry day, I fell and cracked both my front teeth, chipping bits off of them. As a result, I suppose, they were fragile, and so, in this accident, they broke off about halfway up. Now I shall have two lovely porcelain ones, which will look far better than the rather protruding large teeth which most of the Roosevelts have.*
A 22 February 2002 article in *Time* elaborated:

*Mrs. Roosevelt's protruding front teeth were broken in the accident; the porcelain caps which replace them subtly changed her whole face and gave her a sweet, warm and gentle smile.*
A 23 September 2014 article comments with further specifics:

*Eleanor was always uncomfortable. She grew too fast, eventually reaching 5’9″, was skinny, awkward, unathletic, plain as a post – with a hopeless overbite.*
