I found some supplemental novels for our conspiracy theory unit. There are plenty for everyone to have at least one class set of one novel.
Historical Fiction
The witch of Blackbird Pond
--Witches conspiracy--colonial America
The Year of the Hangman
--George Washington's death conspiracy--after the Rev. War
Winter of the Dead
--Starvation and cannibalism in colonial America. (kinda a stretch on conspiracy)
I believe social studies is on colonial America now.
My students really liked that we had Max the Mighty to pull most of our reading from. We only read about 6 random chapters in all, but I think they will like a centered reading focus for this unit also.
These are just a few ideas--feel free to come up with something way better.

With YEAR OF THE HANGMAN check with your SS teachers first. Hazel is teaching that novel to some or all of her kids. I need to check in on that.
