As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell
Oh my goodness, this is a challenging read. War at any time in history is horrible and this is brutal. 1415 was an intense year and people were not nice. Those with power were abusive to those who were not. It's an incredible book, based on a true epic historic event. The narrative takes us through the story with Nick Hook who is an incredible archer. It's a solid read and a good audiobook. We should read these historic stories.... no matter what time frame from now to the past so we can learn to be better people and understand how brutal war is.
