Take a look at [creative nonfiction](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_nonfiction). This approach relies on facts like a journalist, but uses the literary techniques of a novelist. Lee Gutkind has promoted this genre extensively through _Creative Nonfiction_ magazine and several books. You may be able to find some of them in your library. There's a book by Philip Gerard, also titled _Creative Nonfiction_, that discusses several examples of this style of writing. Here's [a video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlguuzwdq_Y) where Gutkind discusses how to convey factual information within a story framework.
