In this chapter, we learn about historical fiction, like the genre of fantasy, it creates another world that has strong connections to our own world. Historical fiction conveys a sense of life as it was lived, happens to ordinary people, broadens perspectives and helps children understand that the present and future are linked to actions of the past. As stated in the book, “Historical fiction helps children realize they are not just outsiders looking in on great historical events; it helps them appreciate that everyone plays a role in shaping history." (Pg. 209)
In my opinion, I believe historical fiction is something that should be taught. It provides students in today’s class with historical truths. Historical fiction does more than give information to the reader, but it connects the reader to that particular time error.
