Two Books: Chains, Forge

1.  Chains                 Genre:  Historical Fiction
2.  Forge               Written by Laurie Halse Anderson

The two books, Chains and Forge, are a series and part three is being written.  The author takes readers back in time to the start of the Revolutionary War.  The pages of the books are made to look like old, weathered journals.  In Forge, each chapter starts out an authentic diary entry from soldiers that fought in the war.  These books are loaded with words from slaves, soldiers, and generals, sharing the friendships and hardships encountered during times of fighting.  In the chapters, when there was not enough food, clothing, and shelter for the people, pages are written for readers to jump timelines back to the year 1776..  These are books that can not be put down, and need to be shared with others who love the realistic adventures of historical fiction.
