[ISLMA-Share] Sub-genre Semi-Fiction

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi all,

We use the purchased Schoolwide Curriculum here for LA.  I am struggling
with a sub-genre they call Semi-Fiction.

Here is the teacher's description:

"It's defined as a text that implements a great deal of nonfiction, such as
a fictional depiction "based on a true story", or a reconstructed
biography. I don't really understand how this would be differentiated from
historical or realistic fiction."

I agree with her.  Anyone know of any titles I could suggest to her that
would fit this term of Semi-Fiction?  She thought Someone Named Eva, I
thought Countdown, by Deborah Wiles.

Any help is appreciated!
