Hey Readers!

Here are some fantastic books that will teach you about history. These are some of the best historical books, written by some amazing authors. This list is good for kids in Middle School or High School but no matter what, these are really some phenomenal books.

Before, I even gave it a chance I thought I hated books about history, but when I finally read one, it blew my mind and fell in love with it. I have reread these books countless times because it makes me feel for the character and I think that feeling is what made me fall in love with books. I hope you enjoy these amazing books. Happy Reading!
