Historical Fiction Book Titles for Colonial and Revolutionary War Time Periods

- 6 comments
We're getting ready to start some historical fiction book clubs in room 206. All you upper elementary/middle school teachers - any favorites that are set during the Colonial and Revolutionary War time periods?

This is what I've used over the past few years, but I'd love some new options.

    My students and I read The Sign of the Beaver-takes place about 10 years after the French and Indian War. My students and I love it.

      Love Sign of the Beaver, I've read it aloud a few times but never used it for book clubs. Good idea!

    So I just went and reread your blog post. I was way too excited and missed the time period you were looking for! Haha! Sorry.
