Favorite Historical fiction books?
lovereading310 lovereading310

I really like with the might of angels (It takes place in the 1950's so I guess it is a historical fiction?)

armcginn armcginn

I would recommend these historical fiction books: For Middle school and up I would recommend The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, The Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis by Elizabeth Letts, Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand, SGT. Reckless by Robin Hutton, Gone With The Wind by Margret Mitchell, Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson, Ghost Riders by Mark Felton, Don't Give Up, Don't Give in By Louis Zamperini, The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe, and The Boys in the Boat by Gregory Mone. For Elementary School readers, I'd recommend Little House On The Prarie, The Island Of The Blue Dolphins, The War That Saved My Life, Anne of Green Gables, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Black Beauty, and Carolynn Kenne's Nancy Drew. Hope This Helped!

My favorite role model is Zendaya, besides my mom. My favorite subject is history because it's the easiest. My favorite animal is a monkey because they like to climb and jump, like me. My favorite Taylor Swift song is Blank Space.
