What’s It About? Fourteen-year-old Emily Pigbush suspects that her uncle is involved in body snatching. Meanwhile, her best friend’s family is accused of plotting to kill Abraham Lincoln, and Emily is left unsure of whom she can trust. Includes a reader’s guide.
Why This? A Presidential asssination, a bodysnatching, a heroine with the last name Pigbush…and it’s historical fiction? Who could resist? The front cover also promises that it will be “deliciously macabre”. Not just macabre, but deliciously so. There’s also, get this, a reader’s guide. I’m so in.
How exciting!

This book looks different to many others. I probably wouldn’t know about it if you hadn’t posted on it, so thank-you.
Seahn
Seahn, it’s really good so far! Of course I started reading it when should be reading something else and I’m hooked. But I need to finish my other book first.
What a unique plot! What’s the reading level of that book?

It’s YA. But it’s adult reading level. I really like it.
My library recommends Rinaldi. I really should add this to my wish list.

I had to reluctantly put it aside to finish up with something else, but I really like it so far.
Ann Rinaldi is one of my favorite YA historical fiction authors…EVER!! You’ll love this one and then you won’t be able to stop until you’ve read them all!!

This is quite a mix of ideas in one book. I’m waiting to hear how it all fits together.
