Throw Back Thursday

I find this TBT post to be one of the harder ones to write. As a child, I never really read the historical fiction genre so I can't reanalyze a text I once read. The historical fiction genre is also very unique and also unlike any of the genres we have already discussed. I will say however, it is a genre with many merits. It is a fantastic way to make serious or important events in history more accessible to children. It also give the reader a glimpse into a a time and place they wouldn't be able to experience otherwise. The Magic Treehouse series was the closest thing to the books we read in class. While they were more fictional than "Esperanza Rising" and "Little House on the Prairie", they did teach children about historical events.
