These books were really popular a long time ago, when your great-great-great grandma was alive. They were exciting stories that made people feel a lot of different emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. They were kind of like soap operas, but in book form.

In sensation novels, there was always a lot of drama. The main character would be in some kind of trouble, like someone trying to steal their money or someone trying to ruin their reputation. The story would have lots of twists and turns, so you never knew what was going to happen next. Sometimes, the main character would even do things that weren't very nice, like lie or cheat, to get what they wanted.

But don't worry, these books weren't just meant to be exciting. They also had a message. The author wanted the reader to learn something from the story, like how to be brave or how to be honest. Some people even thought that reading these books could help make society better.

So there you have it, sensation novels were exciting stories with lots of drama that were popular a long time ago. They were kind of like soap operas, but in book form, and they had a message to teach readers something.
