Can you recommend a book of historical fiction of a year 12 boy?
I am looking for a good historical fiction book for a child 12 years of age. He does not like the fancy stuff. His favorite author is SE Hinton. It has to be somewhere between 150 and 200 pages.
"The thief Shakespeare, "by Gary Blackwood http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeare-Stealer-Gary-Blackwood/dp/0141305959/ref=cm_lmf_tit_15 Mira in" The Cay "by Theodore Taylor, "The Death of Artemio Cruz" by Carlos Fuentes, or "The Wednesday Wars" by Gary Schmidt. The following links also have many more. http://www.plcmc.org/readers_club/subcategory. asp? cat = 4 & id = 30 http://www.plcmc.org/readers_club/features/feature.asp?id=102 He can also try a book by Avi, "The Escape From Home (Beyond the Western Sea, Book 1)." http://www.amazon.com/Escape-Home-Beyond-Western-Book/dp/0380728753/ref=cm_lmf_tit_5 Obviously, it has a sequel, "The money Kirklees Lord." Have you considered a classic like "Johnny Tremain" by Esther Forbes? http://www.amazon.com/Johnny-Tremain-Esther-Forbes/dp/0440442508/ref=cm_lmf_tit_23
