Mare's War By: Tanita S. Davis

Mare's War is both historical fiction and realistic fiction. The characters include Octavia and Tali, who have to go on a road trip with their bizarre grandmother, Mare. During the long hours in the car, Mare tells stories of her life. The book changes between the now (when they are in the car on the road trip) and then (in Mare's perspective in her stories). And let me tell you, some of Mare's stories are quite interesting! I would totally recommend this book to anyone who like realistic or historical fiction. Personally, I do not like historical fiction, but this book books a unique spin on it. I would give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 is because it is hard to get into at the beginning.
