3 rd Nine Weeks Genre

Historical fiction combines some real-life history with some made up information. Usually the setting is the historical part. Authors might create characters that aren’t real or base the characters on real people but make up parts of them too. Part of the story is real and part is made up.

One of my favorite parts of the book is at the end – the Author’s Note. It gives the real story. It tells what parts of the story are true and what parts are made-up or changed. It is always interesting the find out what was real. The author will sometimes include a bibliography at the end to show the books that were used to research the historical event the story is based upon. When you see this, you know it is a real historical fiction.
