Historical Fiction set during the 1930s and 1940's in France, Germany and the USA. Told from 3 different perspectives and timeliness.
Vivian is trying to get a bill stopped that Sen.Taft has filed in Congress for censorship. Althea is a young American writer asked to come to Germany in 1933 by Joesph Goebbels. She accepts not really knowing what she is about to get in. ⬇️
This reading is inspired by The Book of Lost Names that piqued my interest in the people who forged documents in WWII. Shout out to @Offmybookshelf for finding this book and passing it on to me ❤️
I absolutely love the tagged book and credit it for kickstarting my love of historical fiction!!

I‘m happy to share next year‘s #LiteraryCrew ‘s reading list! Roughly 20 Littens voted on the list of titles, which is an amazing number.
The clear top votes went to Passing and Radar Girls. Passing technically had the most votes, but I think it‘s a good book to read for Black History Month.
If you would like to be included on the tag list, please let me know! All are welcome! #BuddyRead
Gotta shout out the American Girl Dolls here! I loved all of these books growing up! #MiddleGradeMonday @Karisimo @Daisey

For me, it doesn't get more American than this. Jeanne Wakatsuki (the book's narrator) is a Nisei (child of a Japanese immigrant). At age seven, Wakatsuki—a native-born American citizen—and her family were living on Ocean Park, CA, when they have to move to Terminal Island, where her father, a fisherman who owned two boats, was arrested by the FBI following the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941.
It‘s been several years since I read Code Talkers, but it is still one of my favorite historical fiction books set during WWII. Grenade is about the Battle of Okinawa. The books on the right are nonfiction for middle grade readers.
