I need to visit the website on the Notable Trade Books in the Social Sciences in order to begin compiling a list of notable historical fiction books for students. 

Are there other sources that have a list of notable historical fiction, such as Horn Book or the American Association of School Librarians?

1. To teach a certain time period in history/social studies class.
2. To allow students to relate to character's experiences during a certain time period.
3. To teach a particular theme that spans across the ages.]]> 2017-04-11 01:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hetyrrell/qbvoj4ehibsr/wish/165797574
