Books To Complement A History Lesson
School is now back in session and we are a week in. I love history and historical fiction, and these are some great books to read for their time period.
Traveling the Frontier
WWII
Piracy
The Road to the Civil Rights Movement
Girl of 1000 Wonders 
OOh nice topic! And picks! Read a handful of these in my own school years!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I haven’t read any of these books though I plan on reading Anna Frank soon. I read a lot of historical fiction but I think one of the books that really stands out for me is The Book of Harlan by Bernice McFadden. Its about the WW11 too but it covers topics that I haven’t read in any other book.
Great post!
Great topic. I loved the Little House books as a child and read them all.
I love you list Charlie! Anne Frank’s book made a huge impression on mw when I first read it. I read The Hiding Place as an adult, but really liked that one as well. I think I would add Farwell to Manzanar to the WWII list. It’s one I read in Middle School about the Japanese Internment camps in the U.S. I am still amazed at how many people out there don’t know that part of American history. Love you list of books for the Civil Rights movement.
Thanks for sharing! Have a great rest of the week, Charlie.
Thanks! I love how this turned out. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is also about the internment camps in the U.S. I can’t recall if we ever learned that in public school K-12 or if it wasn’t until I was in college, but yes, it is startling which pieces of American history are unknown.
Wow, you have so many great books on this list. I read and loved Number the Stars, Little House on the Prairie, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, and The Diary of a Young Girl when I was in school. The rest of your recommendations sound great as well.
Here is our TTT
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is one that you should read!
What a great list! I’ve read some of these but will have to check out some of the others. Also good for history lessons: Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (the Dust Bowl); Constance: A Story of Early Plymouth by Patricia Clapp (Mayflower and the Plymouth Colony); The Sherwood Ring by Elizabeth Marie Pope (the Revolutionary War, told by ghosts); and of course one of my favorites, The Witch of Blackbird Pond (Puritans, Quakers, and witch trials.)
Thanks for adding to my list! I don’t read much about Plymouth or the Puritans and Quakers.
I love the Tudors, but there doesn’t seem to be an awful lot of historical fiction set in that time period!

No, I don’t think there is a lot set in the Tudor period, either.
