Best Historical Fiction Books for 11th Grade

The historical fiction on this page for eleventh graders covers more than two centuries, from Revolutionary-era Boston in M. T. Anderson's Octavian Nothing to 1950s San Francisco in Malinda Lo's Last Night at the Telegraph Club. Each of the six novels has won a National Book Award, a Printz honor or the Scott O'Dell Award, and several pair naturally with American history coursework on slavery, immigration and civil rights.
