Inhaltsangabe

“History can be hilarious, at least in the hands of author Dan Gutman.” —Washington Post

In New York Times bestselling author Dan Gutman's all-new series, which blends fascinating real history with an action-packed and hilarious adventure, four very different kids are picked by a mysterious billionaire to travel through time and photograph some of history's most important events. This time, the four friends are headed to 1863 to catch Abraham Lincoln delivering his famous Gettysburg Address.

They'll have to work together to ask the right questions, meet the right people, and capture the right moment. And most important—not get caught! Back matter separating fact from fiction and real black-and-white photographs throughout make Flashback Four the perfect mix of true history and uproarious fun.

Can this quirky team of time-travelers capture the photo of a lifetime without getting stuck in the past?

• A Hilarious Historical Adventure: Follow four kids—a gamer, a jokester, a bookworm, and a fashionista—as they try to blend in during 1863.
• Action-Packed Time Travel: When their mission to photograph the Gettysburg Address goes sideways, the team has to think fast to avoid changing history forever.
• STEM for Kids: Jump back in time with a smartboard-turned-time-machine created by a mysterious billionaire with a secret agenda.
• Perfect for Fans of Magic Tree House: An exciting series starter that blends real American history with a funny, fast-paced story.
