Did you know that there were at least 12 dogs kenneled and traveling on the Titanic’s maiden voyage before sinking??? As a dog lover, I was very interested to learn of their fate and survival. In this book, White Star: A Dog on the Titanic, Marty Crisp writes about a fictional dog based on his own research of the Titanic and his love of dogs. If you are a fellow dog lover and interested in this history of the Titanic, this is the book for you!

In my opinion, Richard Peck is “the king” of writing historical fiction novels for middle school students. He creates the perfect blend of wacky characters and historically correct settings with just enough creativity to make learning more about history fun/interesting.
A Long Way from Chicago is a short novel written by Peck introducing a family he continues to write about in A Year Down Yonder. The book itself depicts what life was like during The Great Depression.
