A good historical fiction book?
The only criteria is:
-A fiction book with a historical setting
-It has to be set at least one hundred years ago
-It has to be finished by 5/1.
Any suggestions?
It is recommended for like 5th graders, and I’m in 9th grade Advanced English… please make it a lot more challenging.

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It’s a good novel, not too complex not too simple and classic novels are always a must read for any serious reader.
If you want something more challenging read Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. It’s much longer but definetely more complex and I thought it was fun despite the more challenging parts.

like: the other Boleyn Girl
the other queen
the constant princess
the virgins lover
the queens fool
