Suggestions: Time-Travel Stories
Time-travel is a popular story device, especially in youth lit. It gives the author the ability to explore historical (or potential future) events from the point of view of a modern point-of-view character, allowing young readers to identify more easily without sacrificing the authenticity of the historical characters.
