WARNING: DO NOT BELIEVE THE STORY YOU’RE ABOUT TO READ.
Well, you can believe some of it. There is some real history. But also hijinks. Time travel. And famous figures setting off on adventures that definitely never happened―till now. Time is getting twisted, and it’s up to two kids to straighten things out.
When Abraham Lincoln overhears a classroom of kids say “history is boring,” he decides to teach them a lesson. Lincoln escapes from 1860―to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler! Now siblings Doc and Abby have to convince Lincoln to go back to Springfield, Illinois, and accept the presidency . . . before everything spins out of control!
Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler is the first chapter book in the Time Twisters series from acclaimed author Steve Sheinkin. Also check out Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean!

From the Author:
I used to write history textbooks. I'm really sorry.
I was as bored writing them as kids are reading them, and I started to wonder: are people like Abraham Lincoln and Abigail Adams sick of being in boring books? What if they could escape? Where would they go? What would they do?
That was the spark for this new series, Time Twisters.
In Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler, Lincoln escapes the textbook in search of adventures. Abby and Doc, two kids who think they don't like history, try to set things right. But things do not go as planned.
In Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean,the first lady gets tired of doing laundry in the White House and joins a crew of Caribbean pirates. Upcoming adventures feature the cowboy Nat Love joining Neil Armstrong's trip to the moon, and Amelia Earhart competing in the ancient Olympics.
Each Time Twisters book ends with an "Un-twisting History" chapter, where I point out all the true stuff you actually just learned. This is my idea of a perfect storm, a history-comedy mash-up, a chance to introduce kids to people and stories I love, with hilarious comics by Neil Swaab. Thanks for taking a look!
