Fever+1793+by+Laurie+Halse+Anderson+(Emily)

=== Fever is about a girl named Mattie Cook. Mattie’s hometown is struck by yellow fever! Back then the doctors were not used to yellow fever. Many people are ill or even past away. Matties Grandfather is very ill with in their coffee shop. Robbers break in and try to steal stuff. Mattie stops them but now she has a bigger problem, her Grandfather just pasted away. Now she has no one living with her because her mother has fled the town of Philadelphia to go to the country. Eliza, her cook, finds Mattie and takes her to her brother’s house with a girl Mattie found named Nell. But again disaster strucks Nell and Elizas brother’s kids get the yellow fever. Matties mom still hasn’t returned and Mattie is getting worried. Finally the kids recover but no one knows when the disaster will stop? Will Mattie survive? Will Matties mom return? ===

=== I choose this book because I think it really describes. Like for example instead of saying people are sick she says, ‘Their eyes turned bloodshot yellow and start vomiting black liquid’. I also choose because when I was at the bookstore with my mom I saw the cover. The cover has a person with their eyes yellow. I read the back and it really just pulled me in. I also like books about history. I like them because you can know what happened before you were born. ===
