Kirjasampo-service has made a list of historical novels for youngsters in 2017, which concentrates on books about Finnish history and only has titles published after 2000. It has some titles from authors like Maijaliisa Dieckmann and Leena Laulajainen, who have written several books on different periods of history even before that date.
Espoo city library librarians Hakala and Valtonen have made the included pdf-list of books about history this spring.
Hope she finds interesting reads from these!
