(3) K-3 Illustrated by Valentina Belloni. Kate Warne, notable for being Pinkerton's (and America's) first female detective, used her ingenuity to foil an assassination attempt against President Lincoln. The straightforward text explains Warne's work and importance, including logistical details that will satisfy young readers' curiosity. Lively graphics use clean lines and patterned elements for an eye-catching collage-like effect. An author's note places Warne within the context of women's rights. Bib.
