This book offers a thorough exploration of historical fiction for
young adults, examining popular and compelling books that
illuminate the past and define the struggles faced by young people
in those times. Teens don't read historical fiction, right? Wrong!
Although some teens may associate historical fiction with
schoolwork, by using the genre approach, library specialists and
history teachers can suggest titles that teen readers will actually
enjoy. Thanks to heightened interest by both readers and publishers
in historical fiction, there are now more subvarieties of this
genre available than ever before. This title was written to provide
guidance through this expanding category for teen librarians,
teachers, and school media specialists. In Historical Fiction for
Teens: A Genre Guide, YA librarian Melissa Rabey organizes more
than 300 titles by subgenre and theme—from thrills and action
stories to historical fantasy. Descriptive annotations, subject
lists, reading levels, and read-alikes are given for each title;
award winners and titles appropriate for book clubs are noted.
