*My son has been resisting reading for the last two years. In that last two months he has started enjoying two historical fiction books that were assigned to English class. He’s agreed to read some more books over the summer and I’m looking for possibilities. Thanks in advance*

What were the 2 books? HF is a far flung genre
*Tree in the Trail* by Holling C. Holling.
*SeaMan: The Dog Who Explored The West With Lewis & Clark* by Gail Langer Karwoski and James Watling.
Endurance by Alfred Lansing, the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic trip.
I remember I absolutely loved these two historical fiction books when I was in middle school:
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse
I read Jon Krakauer’s *Into Thin Air* when I was 13 and loved it.
I loved Bernard Cornwell’s *Sharpe* novels when I was that age.
Beat to Quarters by Forrester
