At eleven, war stories start making the past personal — refugees, resistance, the home front, the front line. Our shelf here is historical fiction that helps readers make sense of what people lived through, with the emotional range and moral complexity the subject asks for. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
