My Review:
Assassin is a fictional story of a young girl, named Bella. She is a seamstress and works for Mary Todd Lincoln. But, a good looking famous actor John Wilkes Booth persuades her to do bad things. Bella isn't a bad person - she knows right from wrong. But what can she do to save the president? Anyone who knows their U.S. History knows the story of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Actor John Wilkes Booth describes the events that lead to the latter's assassination of Abraham Lincoln. And Bella is in the middle - what can she do?

My Recommendation:
I would recommend this book for young adults and this book would fit wonderfully in a library, school or classroom. Grades 6 and up. If you like historical fiction, with a twist of drama, romance and mystery - read Assassin.
