Yeah, they do tend to center around dramatic historical events. I picked up one of all of them for the school. *g* Though I wish they were a bit more culturally diverse--most of the girls are white, though there's one black girl (she and her parents escaped to Canada on the Underground Railroad), a Metis girl, and another who's half-Ojibway.
Have you read any of the Dear Canada books? They're a bit older, and all diary-style. And really, you can't go wrong when Jean Little is one of the authors. (She wrote Orphan at My Door, and another one I can't remember write now.)
