In this addition to Sheinkin-s effervescent series, nine-year-old protagonists Abby and Doc are exhausted from their journeys through history via cardboard box time machine. But when Abby-s glasses get mixed up with Amelia Earhart-s goggles, she dives back into the box to find them (plus, she really wants to meet Amelia Earhart). Crossing paths with the dauntless aviator in 1932-and learning about her famed transatlantic flight-leads to an unexpected diversion: time travel to Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympics. Swaab-s black-and-white art accentuates the text-s humor, while Sheinkin creates a graceful blend of true history and outrageous adventure. Fans of the books will particularly welcome the appearance of the irrepressible Abraham Lincoln in this volume. Also available in this series: Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler; Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean; and Neil Armstrong and Nat Love, Space Cowboys. Ages 7-10. (June)
