This month's genre is realistic fiction.
Realistic fiction takes place in the real world, with things that actually can happen in the real world, but is fiction. Therefore, magic is not in any realistic fiction books, or scientific advances that haven't taken place yet. Another way to put it is realistic fiction can happen now.I haven't read much realistic fiction, but one book I read that I did like was Wreath, by Judy Christie.
Wreath is about a girl who's mom just died of cancer, and with no other living relatives, she has to go to social services. However, she doesn't want to go to social services, so instead she moves to a different town and tries to make a living. She has to avoid getting caught by authorities that will make her go to social services. . . but can she?
I wouldn't have liked it if the book spent too much time on Wreath's mom's death because it would make me too sad. However, there still is a part where Wreath's mom dies, so use your better judgement.
Do you like realistic fiction? Why?
