“Getting kids interested in history isn’t always easy. Reading dry textbooks and memorizing dozens of dates can make even the most exciting era seem boring. Luckily, historical fiction has the power to bring the past to life. Kids and teens who read the nine novels listed here might find that they’re suddenly a lot more invested in history class.”
Watch 9 quick reviews of Wiki’s chosen historical novels. I look forward to reading those I haven’t read. The nine are:
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
Beyond the Bright Sea
Hamilton & Peggy
The Woman in the Photo
The Dirty Cowboy
Loving vs. Virginia: A Documentary Novel on the Landmark Civil Rights Case
Navigating Early
The Last Suppers
The Dollmaker of Krakow
Love this list, Patty. Probably too advanced for Isa, though she’s an avid reader, in both Spanish and English. Bit harder for her in English.
