Historical Fiction

History is an important part of who we are. It is all around us. In school, we have been learning about the history of this country. We have also been learning about our own family histories and where we come from.

I know history can be boring to read about, but have you ever tried historical fiction? Historical fiction is a fantastic genre! It is a made up story, but it takes place during a real event from the past. For instance, you can read about a story that takes place during the Civil War. The story may be made up, but the Civil War really happened. It is a great way to learn about what happened in the past, but in a more exciting way!

If you are interested, here are some historical fiction books that I love to read:



Toliver is a girl in hiding. She has to travel through British occupied New Jersey to deliver a message for George Washington! Will she ever make it?

Buddy is an orphaned boy living through the Great Depression. He is tired of his foster home. He runs away in search of his real father, a famous bandleader.
