Favorite Book:



My favorit book is called Fever 1793.

Written by Laurie Halse Anderson.

August 1793. Fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook

is ambitious, adventurous, and sick to death of listening to her mother.

Mattie has plans of her own. She wants to turn the Cook Coffeehouse into

the finest business in Philadelphia, the capital of the new United States.
But the waterfront is buzzing with reports of disease.

"Fever" spreads from the docks and creeps toward Mattie's home,

threatening everything she holds dear.
As the cemeteries fill with fever victims, fear turns to panic, and thousands

flee the city. Then tragedy strikes the coffeehouse,

and Mattie is trapped in a living nightmare.

Suddenly, her struggle to build a better life must give way to

something even more important -- the fight to stay alive.

This book gets even better! If u want to hear the rest u have to read the book.
