Shortly after Abraham Lincoln died, a group of forgers got the idea to attempt to steal the former president’s body.  This is their story.  Narrative nonfiction for youth is an art form.  This title brilliantly takes an intriguing subject that not many heard about in their history classes and connects it to topics that are more familiar.  Many people have heard the story of how Lincoln was assassinated from an early age.  But they generally don’t know much about the context in which the assassination occurred.  Here, we learn about forgery, body snatching, medical research, the early days of the secret service, and undercover spying.  Sheinkin has made a living of telling stories from history in an engaging way to children and teens, and this book is no exception to that track record.
