Love your site! Can you help me find something? I’m looking for historical fantasy chapter books . . . Something based deeply in history but with an extensive magic system . . . Like How to Train your dragon if Hiccup had a wand and was trying to learn how to cast spells without them backfiring. Got anything like that? Bonus points if it’s geared towards reluctant 3rd graders. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

In reply to Jodi. That is such a great idea and I will put it on my to-do list. However, I know that I won't be able to get to right away. In the meantime, have parents click on the titles to buy them on Amazon or wherever you prefer for your school.

Hi,
Is it possible to get a downloadable list of these books for historical fiction middle school? Some of the parents would like to purchase some for the school. Thank you.

What an amazing list! Well done! I am ordering some books from it as well as creating my own list as a guide for readers and parents as to which books we have to offer from which time periods. Thank you!
