Assassination is a book by Kristen Azzara. It's about how some of the presidents of the United States were killed like Lincoln,Garfield,McKinley, and Kennedy. I really liked this book because it taught me the past. There are some president I didn't even know. It teaches people about History of the United States.

Azzara, Kristen. Assassination! The Stories of our Murdered Presidents. New York: Scholastic, 2012.
Target Audience: Grade 9-10
Assassination! The Stories of Our Murdered Presidents is a graphic Nonfiction story book about the assassination of four American presidents: Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy. This hi-lo book relates details of the assassinations in a simple and easy to understand manner. Each assassination story begins with one page of information about the president, and gives background about the time in which he lived, and ends with a one page summary of the aftermath of the assassination. The story of the assassination is recreated with graphic images that vividly capture the details, emotions and expressions of the people and places involved. Some of the panels contain the art work only, or the art with one word, for example, “BANG” recounting the moment of the assassination. The brevity of language is definitely an attractive feature for the reluctant reader. The art work is aesthetically pleasing, the stories engaging, and the medium clearly appropriate for the target audience (reluctant or struggling readers). This book has 48 pages.
