Looking for Lincoln

After a time machine malfunctions, history's greatest heroes and villains are set loose on the small town of Antiquity Hill. Now it's up to the kids of the History Hounds Detective Agency - Zahra, Austin, Carlos, and Georgia - to follow the clues, find the historical figures, and send them back to the past. The History Hounds is a book series that uses humor, mystery, and fast-paced storytelling to introduce 7-11 year olds to the people, events, and excitement of world history. In "Looking for Lincoln," the History Hounds learn that a tall, bearded man with a stovepipe hat has been seen sneaking around town. Could it be the 16th president of the United States? With the help of an eccentric old lady (who's obsessed with pink flamingos and a chihuahua named Mr. Sparkles), a dusty phonebook from the local library, and a young lawyer, the kids must race against the clock to find President Lincoln and send him back to the 1800s before it's too late."Looking for Lincoln" is not only a page-turning primer on the life and times of Abraham Lincoln, but also introduces young readers to the larger than life characters they'll come to know and love in The History Hounds series. Learning history has never been so much fun!
