Quick Summary
If you've ever thought history class was a drag, this story flips the script by turning Abraham Lincoln into a pro wrestler who refuses to play his part until two clever kids convince him otherwise. Abby and her stepbrother Doc get tangled in a wild scheme that mixes slapstick comedy with real facts about the Civil War and Lincoln's life, making the past feel alive and ridiculously fun. It's perfect for readers who love a fast-paced, joke-filled adventure and for kids who think they'd rather do anything else than study the 19th century. Parents will appreciate that the humor is light-hearted, the scary bits are more silly than frightening, and there's a genuine lesson about why history matters hidden under all the silliness. Think of it as a mash-up of a goofy comic book and a history lesson similar in spirit to the Time Warp Trio series, which also sends kids back in time with a dose of humor.
