Some time ago there was a bibliography posted of books that are set in
each of the 50 states. I can't seem to find the list, if I saved it.
Could someone forward that list to me please. Specifically, I have a
teacher who is looking for fiction for her 5th graders that takes
place
in the "early history" of the states. We are having a hard time
finding
something for Indiana, Michigan, Nevada and Vermont. Everything I come
up with here in our system is not "early" enough or is about time
travel. She wants good ol' historic fiction pre-1850. If you know of a
J
or YA title that would fit the above criteria, I would appreciate the
reference. Thanks to everyone! Tanya
