[ISLMA-Share] Narrative Non-Fiction 8th grade

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Good morning everyone!

The 8th grade LA teachers came to me yesterday with a request. They are
starting a new unit on narrative non-fiction and would like a list of books.
At first I thought of The Port Chicago 50 and Left for Dead, but they
mentioned it needs to have strong characters. They mentioned the book A
Long Walk to Water, but that is not classified as NF, although it is based
on a true story. They also mentioned Night by Elie Wiesel, which is a
memoir, and they just finished a unit on memoirs.

So, any ideas? Either NF books with strong narrative characters or fiction
based on true stories with main characters?

Thanks in advance!
