Looking for good historical fiction books to read aloud to your students or have them read?

This is your list! Ten pages of suggested book titles with brief descriptions to help you and your students choose a book you will like. Separated by decades, this list includes books set in the 1900's and ends with books set in the 1990's. Plus, a bonus list of books set in the early 2000's if your curriculum wants to take you to current times.

This list is in an easy-to-read format with space to add other books you find. It includes a wide range of books from various states, with both boy and girl main characters experiencing different challenges. Many are award winners. A few are from out of the US but include events that we should still know about like the Berlin Wall.

The introduction gives many ideas for use in homeschool and public school, for read aloud and for independent reading. Save yourself hours of research by buying and printing off this list to keep handy when looking for good historical fiction books. Pass out copies to your students too. A valuable resource!
