    About this audiobook

    My dad used to be Abraham Lincoln. When I was six and learning to read, I saw his initials were A.B.E., Albert Baruch Edelman. ABE. That's when I knew.

    Mina Edelman believes that she and her family are the Lincolns reincarnated. Her main tasks for the next three months: to protect her father from assassination, her mother from insanity, and herself-Willie Lincoln incarnate-from death at age twelve.

    Apart from that, the summer of 1966 should be like any other. But Mina's dad begins taking Mina along to hear speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. in Chicago. And soon he brings the freedom movement to their own small town, with consequences for everyone.

      I was really looking forward to this one it was a fun concept and I love Abe Lincoln. The story fell a little flat for me - but all in all packed in lots of historical time and place type info in an enjoyable way. I am thinking a younger reader may have enjoyed it more.

      Great reviews but did no one else find this book to be depressing and off the mark. So many better civil rights books are available.

      Cute story of a girl who thinks her family are the Lincolns reincarnated, with a nice civil rights angle. But the author tried to stuff too much into the historical setting, and it all fell a little bit flat.
    • 3/5
      In 1966 Illinois, twelve-year-old Wilhelmina, convinced that she, her parents, and sisters are Abraham Lincoln's family reincarnated, determines to keep them from suffering the same fates, which is complicated when she and her father become involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
