Overview
An epidemic of fever sweeps through the streets of 1793 Philadelphia in this novel from Laurie Halse Anderson where "the plot rages like the epidemic itself" (The New York Times Book Review). During the summer of 1793, Mattie Cook lives above the family coffee shop with her widowed mother and grandfather. Mattie spends her days avoiding chores and making plans to turn the family business into the finest Philadelphia has ever seen. But then the fever breaks out. Disease sweeps the streets, destroying everything in its path and turning Mattie's world upside down. At her feverish mother's insistence, Mattie flees the city with her grandfather. But she soon discovers that the sickness is everywhere, and Mattie must learn quickly how to survive in a city turned frantic with disease.

Fever 1793- #SummerReading Must Read!
Victoria D. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book is very relevant to current events. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down! I have never blurted out loud while reading, but this book blew my mind and made me do it! Fever 1793 is so descriptive, you almost feel like you are watching a movie. I highly recommend reading it if you want a good thrill. #SummerReading

Historic fiction at its best.
Betty S. - 6 years 4 months agoCOVID isn't our country's first pandemic. Imagine what it was like with not technology to keep in touch with family and friends. Based on true events of the summer of 1793 in Philadelphia. You won't want to put it down. #SummerReading
