When a spaceship carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin leaves 1969-and lands in 1869 Texas-cowboy Nat Love decides to trade in his horse for a trip to the moon. Can siblings Doc and Abby untwist history and get everyone back where they belong? Houston, we have a problem!

Reviews
"[A] lively Abraham Lincoln-themed romp . . . The truth about historical figures, Sheinkin suggests, is more interesting than the myths, and Lincoln's story concludes with hints about the historical mix-ups that will figure into subsequent books."
Publishers Weekly
"Mixing history, humor, and cartoon illustrations, Sheinkin's new series for young readers blends the appeal of Scieszka's Time Warp Trio, Osborne's Magic Tree House, and Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series."
Booklist
"By the end, readers will have learned quite a bit of history along with the protagonists, without being bored at all [in this] silly story."
