As a Middle School Social Studies Teacher, I am interested in good historical fiction for students. I wish this type of fine writing was around when I was young and had hair. Gary Blackwood has created a intriguing tale of a young actor named Joseph Ehrlich who lives in Washington D.C. during the final days of the American Civil War.
Joe and his father have a stage act in which they pretend to be mind- readers.In their adventures they meet a psychic who has visions of President Lincoln's death. In that context they come into the orbit of John Wilkes Booth. The book gives good background to the assassination plot. The conclusion is creative and entertaining. Young and old readers will enjoy this story.

Have you read Second Sight By Gary Blackwood? This wonderful story about President Lincoln puts you on the edge of your seat.....This little boy and his father learn to perform wonderful acts and try to change history! Read this book to try to save Lincoln too! I loved this historical Book and hope you will to!
