Historical fiction is an interesting genre. It is about a historical event, but it is also fictional, because even though the event that the book takes place happened, the characters in the story didn't exist. For example, a historical fiction book is about two girls living during segregation, which did happen, but the two girls are fictional.

The Lions of Little Rock
The Lions of Little Rock
Marlee doesn't talk. It's not that she can't, she just doesn't want to. But all of that changes when she meets Liz, the new girl at school who is everything Marlee isn't: brave and bold. They become friends and form a special bond, and Liz even starts to help Marlee talk...until Liz disappears one day. And the rumor is that she was actually a colored person passing for white. And in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1958, that is a dangerous thing to be.
I never thought I would like historical fiction because it was too...well...historical. I like history, but more like stuff that happened 5,000 years ago, not in the 1900s and stuff. But then I read this book and I changed my mind because it's just such a great story that you get so immersed in it and forget that it's 1958. I really like The Lions of Little Rock because it's all about friendship, and I even started cheering on the characters when I got to a really good part. This book is just so good and inspiring in so many ways and you also learn so much about segregation and integration and all of this other stuff...this book is just perfect. That's all.
