2011 YA Historical Fiction Challenge

I am joining another 2011 challenge! This one is the YA Historical Fiction Challenge hosted by YA Bliss.  I am joining up at the 2nd level: 10 YA Historical Fiction novels in 2011.   Below are the books I am hoping to read for this challenge in no particular order.  Most of these novels will be brand new to me, but a couple of them I did read ages ago; years before starting this blog.  I am hoping to reread them so I can remember the stories and post a review on my thoughts.  I love historical fiction so I am really excited about this challenge! In fact, if I don't end up reading the books on this list I have a whole set of books waiting to be 'alternates'. Wahoo!
