115. Abigail Adams Pirate of the Caribbean


Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean. (Time Twisters #2) Steve Sheinkin. 2018. 160 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: "This place is a disaster," Abigail Adams said. "Look at this." She made her mouth into the shape of an O and puffed out a cloud of frosty fog. "It is chilly in here," John Adams agreed, rubbing his hands together. "Not quite ready to be lived in, perhaps."

Premise/plot: Abby and Doc broke history in Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler (the first book in the Time Twisters series). In this second book, there is another hiccup to be fixed. Abigail Adams has disappeared from the White House and she's determined to become a PIRATE. Abby, Doc, Abraham Lincoln, and John Adams will have quite a time of it trying to convince her to come back....

My thoughts: I enjoyed the first book. I did. But I thought the second book was even better! I loved the multiple settings of this one. Having the kids travel to multiple time periods--all in a race to fix history and restore it to what it should be. I loved how the kids (and Abraham Lincoln and John Adams) were all determined to "save" Abigail Adams and the saving went both ways. It was fun. It was silly. It was ridiculous in the best way possible.
