Two Years in the Forbidden City by Princess Der Ling is the first hand account of a Chinese girl educated in France who became a lady in waiting to the last Dowager Empress. A good look at what it was really like in the Chinese court.
The Guns of Bull Run by Joseph Altsheler. This is the first book in an incredible series on the Civil War and two cousins who fought on opposite sides. Very good. I loved them when I was in 8th grade.
