Ms. Corriveau and Ms. Gilpatrick have been working hard to highlight adolescent books for students and families. This year they are trying something new: Genre of the Month. November's featured genre is Historical Fiction.
WHAT IS HISTORICAL FICTION?
Historical fiction novels are set in the past, in a real place/period of history. It combines fictional details with historical fact. Characters can be real or imagined, but the setting should be as authentic as possible.
WHY SHOULD YOU GIVE THIS GENRE A CHANCE?
Historical fiction lets readers time travel to different places and periods in history! It gives readers the best of both worlds: engaging fiction & real history!
