Can Abigail and her classmates jump into the past and convince
President Lincoln to write the Emancipation Proclamation? Book one in an
action-packed time-travel series.
“What if Abraham Lincoln
never freed the slaves?” That’s the question Mr. Caruthers poses to his
third grade history class. And the question takes on real-life
importance for Abigail, Zack, Jacob, and Bo, because Mr. Caruthers wants
them to travel back in time and convince President Lincoln to write the
Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln is discouraged and thinking of
quitting—before slavery is abolished!
With a time-travel gadget
and only two hours to spare, Abigail and her friends are going back to
the past. But even though time travel isn’t hard, convincing Abraham
Lincoln not to give up isn’t going to be easy…
A Letter to Our Readers: These stories are part fact, part fiction. Time travel is fiction. We made that up because it is fun and
exciting. But the things the kids see, both in the past and in the present,
those things are real. (From a note by the authors)
