Book 7 ~ The Left Behinds: Abe Lincoln and the Selfie that saved the Union

THE LEFT BEHINDS:  Abe Lincoln and the Selfie that Saved the Union
By David Potter

295 pgs

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was so cute. This the second book in the series so far and I can't wait to read the first one.

The premise are three kids left behind at school during vacation that time travel via their iPhones and help save the past. This installment takes them to meet President Lincoln and family and the battle of Gettysburg.

To further extend the fun/learning at the end of the book the author lists bibliographies for further fiction and nonfiction reading, websites to visit, and historical places and museums to visit.

I think this would appeal to both middle school boys and girls that have an interest in history.
