Historical Fiction for Young Adults is a subcategory of Young Adult Fiction that transports readers to different time periods in history, allowing them to explore the past through engaging and age-appropriate narratives.

It serves as a bridge between Young Adult Fiction and Biographies, offering an engaging alternative to traditional historical texts while maintaining the informative value of biographical works.
