    <body><![CDATA[Another Ann Rinaldi book. I find all of her books very well done.  For historical fiction, she has researched her facts.  This book is during the time of Abe Lincoln assassination.  the characters are based on facts and some of the characters are real. Rinaldi has a way of mixing fiction and history...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70923099">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was another great historical novel by Ann Rinaldi, one of my favorite writers these days.  This was about a doctor and his niece during the time of Lincoln's assasination.<br/>I unknowingly read this as a perfect follow-up story to a book I'd just read called <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" title=" Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"> Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers</a>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38954628">more...</a>]]></body>

I thought it was going to be based around the assassination plot against President Lincoln, but that was just the backdrop. It was actually about medical innovation in the 19th century and body snatching, which I didn't ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70913157">more...</a>]]></body>

It taught me so much not only about John Wilkes Booth and his accomplices, but also about medicine (or lack of) during this time.

    <body><![CDATA[This definitely introduced the issue of body snatching and why people did it to advance science.  Pretty sure I didn't know anything about it or even considered it before I read the book.  Interesting.  Plus, a great story with well-written characters.  One of my favorites. ]]></body>
