An awesome book defining the terrors of the 1793 American Yellow Fever epidemic, I must say. Anderson does a wonderful job of weaving together the hope of survival and loss beyond measure. Mattie Cook lives with her mother and grandfather in a coffeehouse, but when the fever strikes her mother, Mattie and her grandpa must try to flee the city and survive in any way possible, so that they might live one more day.
Muffin Rating: 10.0
Why? The content was very accurate, and I fell in love with (nearly) all the characters. Once again, thank you Anderson.
Warning: Mild Violence (not very descriptive)
Age Rating: 12+
Final Words: If you're a historical fiction fanatic, read this book ASAP.
