Description
The year is 1793, the season summer, and a time that no one would ever forget. Yellow fever has captured a city and as it sweeps through the streets of Philadelphia it grabs victim by victim. This is the story of Mattie, a simple girl, who resides in a small apartment with her mother and grandfather. Mattie finds herself with big plans and dreams the days away as she works in the family coffee shop. When the news of the outbreak is released and her mother takes ill, Mattie and her grandfather are urged to leave the city. Will Mattie see her mother again? Will she and her grandfather escape the disease? Or will they soon discover it has spread farther than they can run? Laurie Halse Anderson, the author, does a remarkable job that earned this book many awards, including an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. It also appeared on the New York Public Library's 100 Books for Reading and Sharing and the New York Public Library's Best Books for the Teen Age. The book also includes a short section in the back revealing true facts about the fever that once took over Philadelphia. 251 pages. ~ Tasha
