Assassin by Anna Myers (a children's chapter book)
Bella Getchel has always longed to be an actress. So when John Wilkes Booth befriends her, she does not realize until too late that Booth is using her to access the President. As an apprentice to the White House seamstress, Bella has a unique and compelling view of the times and events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. This fictional portrayal does an excellent job of bringing to life the tensions of the time.
