Give me recommendations that will make me love this genre. The only historical fiction I’ve read is stalking Jack the Ripper (not sure this counts or not) and I didn’t finish it. Loved the story but was a bit too slow for me. I’d definitely try it again though. I love the inheritance games, the naturals, maximum ride, and thrillers.

DaRo readsThis is listed as middle grade but felt more like YA to me. It's a powerfstory of two girls and the Chernobyl disaster. Approachable, quick read and strong historical fiction.
