Now that I have these out of the way I have a favor to ask. My 9 year old is taking a 40 book challenge. Upon this she is supposed to read Historical fiction and non-fiction- well what are some good titles of historical fiction and non-fiction for young girls that I can look up with her? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks for the links. How do you find time for all of these? :)
Books, 9-year old? I'll have to think about that, well actually I'll help Google it. I have no kids and my dogs refuse to read :D

Jules~ Actually I come across them in my daily readings of other peoples blogs and such, so not that much time is spent as extra. I alot my mornings usually to reading blogs in between classes.
Ahh, I am having a brain fog. Thanks for the links.
Nice post, I will have to visit all your suggestions.
I recommend the first book in the Diary Series, sorry I can't remember the actual title of the series. The first book is a true diary, not made up, called: Remember Patience Wimple. It is about a young pilgrim, yeah, arriving on the Mayflower and all the new things she encounters here in America. It is excellent.
Everyone is invited to a Viking Blog BBQ...see Tuesday's post on my site for directions.

for non-fiction, my 9yo loves books on snakes. The Snake Scientist is really good and about Garter Snakes.
Historic Fiction for that age is hard. Magic Tree House is too young and gone with the wind is too old. Red Badge of Courage maybe.
Oh good luck finding appropriate books for your 9 year old!! I hope you get tons of ideas - I'm racking my brain to think of at least one, but can't, sorry!!
And thanks for all these fab links!! Everything to do with how to improve my writing is very very helpful so thank you!
Have a lovely day!
Take care

I think I'm contractually obliged (as a Canadian) to suggest Anne of Green Gables. Can't remember the author (SHAME!).
What about the Laura Ingalls Wilder series? You know, Little House on the Prairie? Is that historical enough? I loved those books as a kid.
I'm so glad you included CJ Redwine's post. I'm leaving your blog up so I don't forget to check out some more of these links later today.
Lots of great link! Thanks! And I would recommend for your daughter books by Corrie ten Boom and The Diary of Anne Frank. I read them when I was about her age.
Books by Ann Rinaldi are a good source of Historical Fiction! Her writing is very good, and involves things like the Civil War and the Revolutionary War.
I completely spaced the green gables ones, I bet I can find those Will.
I'll look up these others everyone, thanks a whole bunch for your help.
Thanks for the links! I need to check out Emma's post on characters, I think ...
For shame is right, Will, (tee hee). A of G G was written by Lucy Maude Montgomery. These would be good for a 9 year old, Summer, I agree.
Thanks for linking to my post! <3
Great links. Loved the badges one. Always wondered how bloggers made them.
I wish I had a great non-fiction to pass on, but I don't read that much non-fiction. I hope she does well with the 40 books!
