Fever

Fever by Laurie Anderson is great. Once you start you won’t be able to stop. It’s about yellow fever in Philadelphia in 1793. You really get to know the characters and see how they change and grow from the beginning to the end. The writing sucks you in and you’ll find yourself genuinely worried about the characters. I wouldn’t     recommend it to younger kids because it’s a tiny bit hard to understand and a little frightening. It’s really cool to see how people had to survive and how big an impact yellow fever had on people. Even for the people who didn’t get sick you still felt their pain. If you didn’t die some of your friends and loved ones probably did. It’s definitely sad, but it’s such a great book that you have to read it.
