Can anyone recommend some historical fiction books containing male characte rs for second to fourth grade readers? I'm fortunate to have four 3rd grad e teachers that bring their students to the library for monthly book talks and the teachers follow up with having the students complete projects and a ctivities on the books they read. Last month we discovered the lack of "bo y" characters in historical fiction genre in our library. Can you recommen d any other books like Henry's Freedom Box, books written by Deborah Hopkin son, or the titles written by Matt Tavares (Mudball or Oliver's Game). The My Name is America series works well and isn't as difficult as the similar Dear America series.
