Great historical fiction abt #Brazil for the win! See Jungle of Ashes (Brynn Barineau). Set in #Fordlândia, Henry Ford's ill-fated company town. A well-researched, accessible coming-of-age read. Excited to share w/ students! @clahistorians.bsky.social @thewha.bsky.social @theherstorian.bsky.social

And my take on writing historical fiction in the classroom--yes, wrote my own to meet student needs (world history), but also offered for extra credit at the hs and undergrad levels: www.historians.org/perspectives...
