YA Historical Fiction Challenge 2012

I will participate in a reading challenge again!! BookBlogger Sab at Ya Bliss invented this fun challenge. You can learn anything about it on her site. It is called the YA Historical Fiction Challenge 2012, I participated last year too and it was real fun!

Historical fiction: tells a story that is set in the past. That setting is usually real and drawn from history, and often contains actual historical persons, but the principal characters tend to be fictional. Writers of stories in this genre, while penning fiction, attempt to capture the spirit, manners, and social conditions of the persons or time(s) presented in the story, with due attention paid to period detail and fidelity. (Wikipedia)

I will be participating in level one, which means that I will try to read 5 historical young adult books in 2011.
Books I have reviewed in 2011 in this challenge are: (click on the title to read my review)!
