SUBJECT:  ELEM: Nonfiction and Historical Fiction - Diary Format
Date:  April 17, 2000
From:  Pat Gualtieri<jogualt@attglobal.net>

Hello,
My name is Pat Gualtieri, and I am pursuing a Master's in Library
Science degree at the University of Maryland.  This is my first posting
to this wonderful group.
I am interested in identifying juvenile fiction and nonfiction books
written in "diary" format.  I am aware of the "Dear America" and other
series, but I'm also interested in those that are based on historically
accurate accounts - i.e., a re-write of an individual's journal, slave
narrative, etc.  I'm particularly interested in looking at the accuracy
and credibility of these diaries, and how the authors address the
question of "authenticity" for their young readers.

If anyone has titles to recommend, I would be grateful.  I will also
post a hit if there is interest.

TIA
Pat
