Some people, such my dad, will not read fiction. To them, fiction is not true. I disagree. Nonfiction may be factual, but fiction can often show truths in ways mere facts cannot. What fiction can do, especially in middle grade and young adult novels, is to hold up a mirror in which readers can see themselves or others. Fiction helps them make sense of life as it shows truths one step removed from what may be chaos in their own lives.
I often ask the question, "What would happen if a scientific enterprise worked?" And then write a story, or a novel, on the answer.
You! The reader, will never be this close to war unless you were there!
