Ch 12 - Historical Fiction

History can be extremely boring for some kids. Some kids love it, and others can't stand it. I personally liked history, but like Tunnel and Jacobs said, textbooks just cover too much. They're not very interesting. I think these historical fiction books are some of the best ways to get kids interested in historical events. I like that it talked about not "sugarcoating" history. Telling the truth outright is the best way to gain understanding and really learn history. I also liked that Tunnel and Jacobs said that history should come to life from the author.
