Bella isn’t evil. But even people with good intentions can end up doing bad things. Especially when they meet people with the power to persuade them to do almost anything, like John Wilkes Booth—the most charismatic and famous actor of his time.

<div>So when Booth sets his sights on Bella, an assistant seamstress to Mary Todd Lincoln, to help with his plot to kidnap President Lincoln, he is able to persuade her to betray her president and even turn her back on the boy she has loved her entire life. Bella believes Booth is only trying to force the North to release Southern war prisoners, and will not harm her dear friend Mr. Lincoln. But the kidnapping plot fails, and now Booth will stop at nothing--even if it means harming Bella in the process. </div><div>
Anna Myers has crafted a provocative new look at the Lincoln assassination through the eyes of both a young White House insider and the assassin himself. An author’s note provides the historical background to this tragic event. </div></div>]]> 188939 3.73 299 78 2005 688200 0802795609 9780802795601 24 <![CDATA[Confessions from the Principal's Chair]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177223618m/688200.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177223618s/688200.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/688200.Confessions_from_the_Principal_s_Chair 3.96 57 When she goes to register at the local middle school, she’s mistaken for the interim school principal.

As his father lay dying, Jonah Hawkins promised he would remain loyal to the king and never join the patriots in their resistance. But that promise isn’t easy to keep after he meets his new teacher—Master Nathan Hale—who inspires Jonah to learn and think about the nation’s growing turmoil. As the time for war draws near, the patriots call on all men to fight, and Nathan must leave to battle the British Army. But Jonah’s and Nathan’s paths will cross again, and when they do, Jonah will finally be forced to choose where his loyalties truly lie.

Inspired by the famous last words of a heroic patriot, Spy! is the story of one man’s ultimate sacrifice for his country and one boy’s awakening courage.
