Abe Lincoln and the Selfie that Saved the Union

Gr 3–7—Mel, Bev and Brandon are back with another time traveling adventure at the will of Professor Montcrieff and his iTime app. This time around, the kids (known as The Left Behinds) are transported back to the 1860's. Upon their arrival, they immediately meet First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln who mistakes one of them for her deceased son, Willie. Upon their arrival to The White House, they are dragged into helping stop a person from their time with interfering with The Battle of Gettysburg. Young readers who enjoy historical fiction as well as those who like a bit of fantasy in their reads will appreciate this outing. Those with no knowledge of the first book will have no problem hopping on this one with the inclusion of a recap in the first chapter. Expansive back matter, including an author's note, websites and age appropriate recommended reading, is a fine addition to this rollicking good time.
