Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Any specific time period that you are looking for!?!?!?
Some of my favorite historical fiction novels are:
*The Red Tend by Anita Diamant- this takes place in biblical times and it is about Jacob's only daughter, Dinah!. This is a marvelous book and I would totally recommend it

* Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen- this takes place during present day and in the 1930's!. It is about an old man remembering his days in a traveling circus!. Really amazing!.

*I Have Lived a Thousand Years: Growing up in the Holocaust by Livia Bitton-Jackson- Okay, this is actually an autobiography about a Holocaust survivor!. It reads like fiction though and it is one of my favorite books!! It's very sad though, and disturbing in some parts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Devil in the White City!. Absolutely fabulous -- read it last summer, my father then read it and said it was the first book he'd stuck with in years!. It's about the 1892 Chicago World's Fair -- how they built it, and while they were building it, this super-creepy serial killer set up shop in Chicago!. So it's two intertwined stories, and very interesting!. Enjoy!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with Bud, Not Buddy, Number the Stars, Pillars of the Earth, In My Hands, Memoirs of a Holocaust Rescuer!. Here are some more!.
Beyond the Western Sea, Avi
The Bloody Jack Series, by L!.A!. Meyer!. Bloody Jack is really a girl!. Orphaned in London at the end of the 1700's,
she lives with a street gang, then disguises herself as a boy and is hired onto a British Naval ship!.
Great adventure, great characters, humor, suspense, great FUN!.
Bloody Jack, L!.A!. Meyer
The Curse of the Blue Tattoo
Under the Jolly Roger
In the Belly of the Bloodhound
Mississippi Jack

Anything by the Collier Brothers or James Michener
Samuria Shortstop, Gratz
