Book Reviews of Fever 1793

Book Review: A Gripping Novel
Summary: 5 Stars

In Philadelphia in August of 1793 everything was going good until the deadly yellow fever epidemic was born. At first, it was a rumor, then an uncommon event -- but it began to spread throughout the area, and no one was safe from the fever. Hope soon withered into despair as people died everywhere in Philadelphia. Mattie Cook, fourteen, is drawn away from the disease, but members of her family, and those she loves, are inflicted with the fever -- and as survival becomes a credential in her life, she must save the people whom she loves. But the epidemic worsens throughout Philadelphia. As the months pass by, the fever and deaths greatly increase, and Mattie is almost at the depths of despair. But she must be strong, and boldly face death -- through thick and thin, and through the worst moments of the summer. Fever 1793 is powerful historical fiction thriller. Mattie is a bold and well-liked heroine. It is a novel about hope, despair, danger, death, and coping with the losses and victories of the one of the worst epidemics in history. It is one of the best books I ever read, and I couldn't put down this powerfully gripping and well-written story.
