When Elizabeth Raum has written historical novels for readers ages 8-14, nonfiction books, picture books, as well as many interactive books. Colonial and Revolutionary American history are her favorite topics.

She loves visiting with students and sharing her passion for reading, writing, and history. Her most recent middle-grade historical novel, Boy With A Fife: Ebenezer Fletcher's War of Independence follows the adventures of a young fifer during the Revolutionary War. A Kidnapping in Kentucky, 1776, is based on a true event: the kidnapping of Daniel Boone's 13-year-old daughter, Jemima. Another recent novel, Storm Warning, is set during the 1997 Red River Valley flood along the North Dakota/Minnesota border. Nonfiction books like The Dreadful, Smelly Colonies: The Disgusting Details About Life in Colonial America give students a glimpse into the past. Readers may also be familiar with Elizabeth's You Choose Interactive History Adventures (Capstone Press). Many take place during the American Revolution. Learning about the past is fun and educational.

Her interactive series, Choose Your Journey, is designed for Christian schools and homeschoolers, and is based on the Gospel stories.
