We recently sat down with David Baldacci, author of The 39 Clues: Day of Doom to ask him about reading, his writing life, and his latest project, hosting Scholastic’s virtual field trip “Decoding History” at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. We found out some interesting things, including what he likes to read to his kids, and that he’d have taken the bullet for Lincoln. Read more about the field trip here, and watch the replay!
