The President Has Been Shot!

In his new young-adult book on the Kennedy assassination, James Swanson transports readers back to one of the most shocking, sad, and terrifying events in American history. As he did in his bestselling Scholastic YA book, Chasing Lincoln’s Killer, Swanson deploys his signature “you are there” style—a riveting, ticking-clock pace, with an unprecedented eye for dramatic details and impeccable historical accuracy—to tell the story of the JFK assassination as it has never been told before. The book is illustrated with archival photos.
