Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by secrets, high stakes, or the idea that one person's observation skills can change the course of history. It is a powerful tool for children who feel overlooked, showing how 'keeping one's eyes open' is a superpower in its own right. This gripping narrative follows Allan Pinkerton, a Scottish immigrant who founded the first detective agency and saved Abraham Lincoln from an early assassination plot. While the tension is palpable, the story emphasizes meticulous planning, teamwork, and the importance of gathering facts before acting. It is perfectly suited for elementary-aged readers who are ready for more complex historical narratives that feel like modern spy thrillers. Parents will appreciate how it frames bravery not as physical might, but as the courage to notice what others miss and the persistence to act on the truth.
