These books are non-fiction. They are great sources for learning more about the history of Chanuka, for teens and adults. Since the story of Chanuka took place after the sealing of the Tanach, this is the only holiday that is not mentioned in the Tanach. Thus, our information about Chanuka history comes from the Apocrypha — texts written in Biblical style but not included in the Tanach. The ones most relevant to Chanuka are the Books of Maccabees 1 and 2. In Five Glorious Brothers, Rabbi Pinchas Stolper presents a very readable English translation of the Books of Maccabees 1 and 2, together with background information.
In Hidden Lights, Rabbi Stolper delves deeper into the story of Chanuka, providing more historical background along with an original thought-provoking analysis.
Inside Chanukah by Rabbi Aryeh Pinchas Strikoff is a comprehensive volume on everything Chanuka related. It includes historical background and a number of later sources that discuss Chanuka, both in Hebrew and in English translation.
I highly recommend all three books for anyone interested in a closer and deeper look at the story of Chanuka.
