Journey through American history in this special program series honoring America250. Each month, kids and teens – along with their caregivers – are encouraged to read a historical fiction book set during a particular time period in our nation’s history. At the end of the month, the whole family is invited to join our book club meeting, where we will discuss the books we’ve read along with historical context provided by the Story Center.
For our September meeting, we will discuss books set in the 1700s, including stories that take place in the thirteen colonies and during the Revolutionary War. Some of our suggested books include:
- Felicity Learns a Lesson by Valerie Tripp
- I Survived the American Revolution, 1776 by Lauren Tarshis
- Rebellion, 1776 by Laurie Halse Anderson
