The book 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond' is a great option. It is set in colonial America and has elements of mystery and friendship. It can help 7th graders understand the social and cultural aspects of that time.
Another good historical fiction for 7th graders is 'The Midwife's Apprentice'. It takes place in medieval England as well. It tells the story of a girl who becomes a midwife's apprentice. It shows the hard life of the lower classes in that time and how one girl overcomes difficulties and finds her place.
I'd recommend 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond' - it's a great story set in colonial times with interesting characters and adventures that 7th graders might enjoy.
I think 'The Magic Tree House' series is great. It combines history and adventure in an engaging way for kids that age.
The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. This is a heart - wrenching love story between two teenagers with cancer. It's very moving and can make 9th graders think about life, love, and mortality. It also has some great writing that they can learn from.
A couple of good fiction books for 7th graders are 'Walk Two Moons' by Sharon Creech. Salamanca goes on a road trip with her grandparents and tells the story of her friend Phoebe.

And 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin is a mystery novel where a group of people are heirs to a fortune and they have to solve the mystery of who killed Sam Westing.
Sure. 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. Although it's a bit of a dystopian future, it has elements of how society has evolved from our present - day understanding which has historical implications. It makes 7th graders think about how society could change over time. Another is 'A Long Walk to Water' by Linda Sue Park. It tells two stories, one in modern - day Sudan and one in 1985 Sudan. It's a great way to learn about the history and struggles in that part of the world.
I highly recommend 'Wonder' by R.J. Palacio. It's about a boy with a facial deformity and his journey in a new school. It's very inspiring. Another good one is 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It has a great plot about a girl who discovers a hidden garden.

Well, 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond' is a fine historical fiction for 5th graders. It's about a girl in colonial Connecticut. Then there's 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry' by Mildred D. Taylor.
