The Metropolitan Affair by Jocelyn Inexperienced
Jocelyn Inexperienced is a go-to creator for me when I’m searching for clear historic fiction.
The Metropolitan Affair takes place in the course of the Roaring Twenties. It’s a love story set within the museum, and we get a behind-the-scenes take a look at museum work and artwork fraud. In case you like a little bit of a thriller, this one is for you!
The Gentle in Hidden Locations by Sharon Cameron
This guide is TOUGH. It’s primarily based on the true story of Holocaust heroine Stefania Podgórska, a 16-year-old Catholic lady in Poland who not solely took care of her youthful sister but in addition hid 13 Jewish folks within the attic of her tiny condo.
In case you or the reader you’re giving this to is delicate to violence and struggling, please remember that elements of the guide will be darkish. Finally, there’s a message of hope and love. As famous, the guide is YA, so it’s nice to your highschool readers.

That is one other first within the sequence… I shortly learn the remainder of the sequence after I completed Pricey Mrs. Chook! (They made for excellent poolside studying final summer time.)
This guide was humorous, severe, unhappy, historic, and filled with hope and goodness.
