I will always stop to read middle grade and YA nonfiction (in addition to nonfiction for any other audience). Here are some oldies that are my favorite:

1. How They Croaked: The Awful Ends to the Awfully Famous by Georgia Bragg illustrated by Kevin O’Malley
2. Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed the World by Sy Montgomery
3. The Great American Dust Bowl written and illustrated by Don Brown
4. “The President Has Been Shot!”: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy by James L. Swanson
5. To the Moon: The True Story of the American Heroes on the Apollo 8 Spaceship by Jeffrey Kluger
6. Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein by Linda Bailey illustrated by Julia Sarda
