My thoughts exactly! GREAT book, definitely historical, but not fiction."

There are several books on this list that are not historical fiction! Historical fiction is fiction set in a time 50+ years earlier than the time of the author's writing. Little Women and Pride & Prejudice don't fall into this category!!

I think that's just fiction. Historical fiction is usually written about a different time period, not the one the writer is living in.

My inner librarian is coming out. Jane Austen isn't historical fiction since it was contemporary at the time it was written. Some of these books seem more like fiction set in a different era. Historical fiction is typically fiction set in the past, which builds on historical events or persons.

So, I agree that Anne Frank's Diary is NOT fiction, however, it has been observed/sorta proved that it was not your average diary; we revised it and tried to prepare it for publishing while in hiding. And even though it's not fiction, I am still really surprised to see it down so far on the list. Maybe not as people voted for it because it's nonfiction?

Either way, great list! I found a lot of my favorite books on this list, as well as books that I haven't yet read but want to read.

To Kill a Mockingbird (#6) is not historical fiction, to name one. Just because a book is 'old' doesn't make it per definition historical fiction (see also an earlier comment by Kristin).

And where are the 'teens as a main character', like the description says, in Gone with the Wind (#18), The Help (#21) and The Scarlet Pimpernel (#47), to name just a few?

Sorry to have to say this, but this list is a mess...

Agreed. ~~Which number is it on currently?~~ Never mind, I found and removed it. (It was on #469)

Seems to me that the description ("Historical fiction that features teens as the main characters") isn't read by many ... Or maybe it is ignored ... Not nice 😠
