Making History Fun with Author Jared Acuña: History should certainly never be boring, but it definitely should always aim to be true! In writing All Battles End at Sunset, author Jared Acuña toured many places and researched many books—he even read some journals written by real historical people featured in the story! While the main character Marcel is a completely made-up one, he is surrounded by people who really lived and events that really happened. Marcel's story is kinda like seeing a point in history from a kid's perspective—a kid who was just like you and me!
