I’m looking for that riveting dramatic and historically accurate book that hooked you or your pre-teen child! I am lucky that I have a son that is really interested in reading, but that dramatic edge of your seat feeling that can really draw a young reader in is a must. Curious for choices on historically accurate young adult history material either American history or major world events at this time since the recipient is only 10.
