If you are teaching World History, then take a look at these 8 World War II historical fiction books for middle school. If you’re looking to bring history alive, your homeschooled middle school kids will love these books. Even at middle and high school level, an adolescent has the right to enjoy reading about history without having to read about all the cruel facts. Mixing both fiction and non-fiction literature keeps kids learning about war topics but in a more balanced way. Fiction can bring the time period alive by kids relating to the characters and nonfiction reminds them that it was real.
