In October we talked about Historical Adventure books. Historical Adventure books are Historical Fiction books with attitude.
Gideon the Cutpurse by Linday Buckly-Archer: While visiting Derbyshire England Peter and his new friend, Kate, get magically transported back to the 1700's.
Lord of the Nutcracker Men by Ian Lawrence: A English boy during WWI has been sent to the country to escape the bombing of London. His father who is in the army, sends him wooden figures of the men he meets. The boy begins to believe that the battles he plays out with the figures affect the outcome of the real battlefield.
On Wings of Heroes by Richard Peck: Davy's biggest hero is his brother, and while his brother is away fighting in WWII Davy does what he can for the war effort.
