Just in Time, Abraham Lincoln

(4) K-3 A train trip seems "way cool" until Grandma scolds, "No electronics...no texting, no tweeting, no e-mailing." Stopping at the Harpers Ferry Civil War Museum is boring compared to video games--until a time-slip adventure brings the protagonists face-to-face with Abraham Lincoln. Though the text can be heavy-handed, Polacco's fans won't be disappointed by the fantasy adventure or her sketchlike illustrations.
