Synopsis

WARNING: DO NOT BELIEVE THE STORY YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR.
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.

Abraham Lincoln may have returned to history books, but other historical figures saw what he did-and now they know they can escape from their times, too. When Abigail Adams decides there's more to life than doing chores in the White House, she joins a crew of Caribbean pirates! Can siblings Abby and Doc set history straight? Or will they be the ones who need to be rescued?

Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean, is a chapter book in the Time Twisters series by award-winning author Steve Sheinkin about what happens when a famous First Lady tires of life in the White House. Also check out Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler!

My 9 year old son read this in two days. He was so excited to read it and recapped it for me. Then we explored the real story of Abigail Adams and compared the facts of her life with the story in the book.

Goodreads review by Shelley on November 16, 2017

Abigail Adams is sick of life as a woman in the White House and heads off to the Caribbean to be a pirate, a few decades before she was born; children from today try to fix history.
