English Assignment - Recommend a Historical Fiction Book?

[Katattack]

Yes, for this quarter we've been asked to read a Historical Fiction genre book. Any recommendations? Keep in mind I live in a small, very religious town, so it has to be something you might find in that sort of citie's library.

Oh, and I have to be able to make a fake newspaper about it. Thanks in advance!

Let me think about it. I'll try to find something I've read.

I reccomend Witch of the Blackbird Pond. It's by Elizabeth Speare! It is wonderful!!! I've read it three or four times!

Also, True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi, is a really good read, with ships and everything. I've read it three times I think.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and any other by Mildred Taylor is very very very good. I've read all of them.


So there's the ones I recommend!

depends, what grade are you in?

 

[Chaotic_Countess]

Ha.

I'm reading a historical fiction.

The Scarlet Pimpernel. It has a Broadway show after it, and Linda Eder was on the concept recording for said broadway show, so I'm assuming it must be decent.

And it'd be easy to do a fake news paper on it. I think anyway.

Absolutely anything by Thomas Hardy, if you're in a high grade. We're studying Return of the Native for A-Level at the moment. Historical fiction as far as I'm aware.
