I have a historical fiction book report and time line due for my L/A class and i can`t think of any books to do it on.

I loved "Moccasin Trail" by Eloise Jarvis McGraw and "Rifles for Watie" by Harold Keith when I was around that age.

"Moccasin Trail" – A pioneer boy, brought up by Crow Indians, is reunited with his family and attempts to orient himself in the white man’s culture.

"Rifles for Watie" – A Civil War-era novel about a boy who enlisted in the Union Army and ends up a spy for them in the Confederate Army.

I really enjoy reading science fiction, but it’s often difficult to find good science fiction that isn’t too dark and that doesn’t contain sex. What are some good science fiction authors/books that aren’t dark and gloomy and that don’t have sexual content?

If you want optimistic sci-fi with near-zero explicit sexual content, I would advise you to stick to ‘Golden Age’ (1930s-50s) stories from authors such as (from Wikipedia):

Poul Anderson
Isaac Asimov
Alfred Bester
James Blish
Nelson S. Bond
Leigh Brackett
Ray Bradbury
Fredric Brown
Bertram Chandler
John Christopher
Arthur C. Clarke
Hal Clement
L. Sprague de Camp
Lester del Rey
Robert A. Heinlein
C. M. Kornbluth
Henry Kuttner
Fritz Leiber
Walter M. Miller, Jr.
C. L. Moore
Chad Oliver
Frederik Pohl
Ross Rocklynne
Eric Frank Russell
Clifford D. Simak
E.E. "Doc" Smith
Theodore Sturgeon
William Tenn
A. E. van Vogt
Jack Vance
John Wyndham

And even then that’s not a 100% reliable guarantee–you will still find the occasional, implied-but-discreetly-asterisked sexual situation, e.g. man and woman giggling/kissing, and then disappearing into a room and closing the door. Heinlein and Anderson (to name but two) were not particularly coy in this respect.

Although he is somewhat notorious for the chastity of his earlier writings, even Asimov managed to write a short story called ‘Playboy and the Slime God’, and one of his later ‘robot’ detective novels ("The Robots of Dawn") actually hinges on a sexual relationship between a woman and her robot servant (somewhat echoing one of his earlier short stories, "Satisfaction Guaranteed"). So there are a few for you to avoid.

I really want a book to read and i just finished the book Cleopatra’s daughter by Michelle Moran and i was wondering if you guys know any good romance/historical fiction books for young adults since im sixteen. Well please help me!

Countess Below the Stairs
The Morning Gift
A Company of Swans

I have to write an essay on why it is good to read non fiction books in an English classroom.
I have a couple of reasons but i still need a few more. If you could help me out that would be AWESOME.

To use the literary skills of the author to change the way we look at things.
To read about events which really took place from the point of view of the writer, and we can compare it with the opinion of the general public.

For a unit in my english class we have to choose two books: a non-fiction book and a fiction both on the same subject. I chose the holocaust as my topic (obviously). I have already chosen my fiction book – The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. So I just need a non-fiction to go with it. Do you have any good recommendations? And even good fiction books too? Thanks

Boy in the Stripped Pajamas is one of my favorite books ever <3 I cried for like the entire time I was reading it
Non-fiction: Night
Ficton: The Book Theif
Two amazing books. Be ready to cry during both. Enjoy.

I want to get some non-fiction books about things like planets and stars. What are some good ones that I could get at Barnes and Noble?

For all purposes, just walk through the science area. Astronomy for Dummies isn’t exactly *great*, but …. for a beginner, it isn’t exactly bad. Almost any of the books that have maps (several pages) of the sky (look for almost any books that have the name ‘Wil Tirion’ on the cover – - you’ll be okay with those.) Make sure they have sections on telescopes and binoculars (how to tell different types, how to use, how to care for them, and sections on planets and stars. Over the past few years I’ve maybe bought 3 or 4 dozen book – and I use (perhaps) a dozen or so regularly.

This quarter for school I have to read a historical fiction book as well as other books. What are some great books for me if I like to read usually romance/mystery/horror books?

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

I’m dieing to read a good book!
I really like Cleopatra’s Daughter, Nefertiti, and the Heretic Queen.

Historical fictions books based on ancient rome, greece, etc or any good historical fiction book you really liked?

The Red Tent – about ancient Mesopatamia circa 2000 BC.
Clan of cave Bear – by Jean Auel, about a young prehistoric woman raised by Neandrathals, and trying to find her own kind (humans). Outstanding.

Do you know if there are any fiction books about something supernatural happening during the Great Depression? Like vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, anything else you can think of. Young adult or adult level, please.

A subgenre of Speculative Fiction, Historical Fantasy is similar to Urban Fantasy, … Historical fantasy novels will be set in an actually historic and geographic … the demon she’s contracted to fighting demons and other supernatural threats. … Carnivale: Fantastic things happened during The Great Depression.

You see I am a pregnant teen, and well for some reason to deal with things it helps to feel understood, and books do that for me. So does anyone know of a good book about teen pregnancy? A fiction book please. <3 Thanks for your time.

I’ve read quite a bunch, and heard a lot about others. Here’s the mixed list:

- After by Amy Efaw. (Haven’t read it yet.)
- My Life As a Rhombus by Varian Johnson. (I hear this one’s pretty good.)
- Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles. (Spoiler alert!)
- Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr. (Didn’t like the writing style all that much, but the story is good.)
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker. (Amazing!)
- Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok. (Haven’t read it yet.)
- Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer. (Great book! Hope is the daughter of a teen mom.)

Can’t think of any other at the moment, but I’ll come back and edit this if I do.

And by the way, best wishes with your pregnancy. May you have a healthy, happy baby.
