Historical Fiction Fun!

Help me give my students a new, exciting inventory of historical fiction books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DeMartini's classroom raised $1,311

My Project

These books will be great for our 8th Grade Book Clubs! I have chosen books which include a variety of different Historical Fiction time periods in the United States and Internationally. Being that we have such a diverse group of students, I wanted to choose books that all students could share a connection with. Further, I have also carefully selected these books from a range of reading levels to ensure struggling readers' needs are met, as well as readers who are exceeding grade levels! There truly is something for everyone!
