JFK and his fellow servicemen spent six days on a desert island with only coconuts to eat after a deadly attack during WWII. Abe Lincoln was forced to take a train trip in disguise while America's first female detective worked to foil an early assassination attempt. And when Andrew Jackson was attacked by an upset citizen who had been stalking him for months, frontiersman Davey Crockett was the one to save him. With pacy, immediate writing and including supplemental archival photographs and archival materials, this book chronicles thrilling undertold stories of U.S. presidents' moments of bravery."-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 0 $a Grade 7 to 8. 521 1 $a Ages 9-14. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Miscellanea $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Presidents $x History $z United States $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Near-death experiences $x United States $v Juvenile literature. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Spradlin, Michael P. $t Close calls $d New York : Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2020 $z 9781547601394 $w (DLC) 2019980875 941 $a 10 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716030614.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20200702103443.0 $m J973.09 Spr 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20200613111129.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20200609012225.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20200415010158.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20200407020644.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200307010315.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204100311.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200201010149.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110083335.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75DB0FDE337911EAAB6AAA0C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
