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.

老师留的assignment没有办法,看完之后觉得很无聊,文字也相对比较简单,不太适合我们高二的同学。
内容如标题,玛丽苏类型的少女克服无数困难创造新生活,可读性高,适合英文水平比较普通的读者。
My son was assigned this book as summer reading as his school is using the storyline across the curriculum next year for some project based learning. I think the storyline is great for that purpose.
Since I live in Philadelphia I was able to make some real world connections which helped to make the book more interesting. I am worried that my son will find it a bit dry and boring; he's not a big reader to begin with and some of the word usage may send him Googling.
Overall, I did enjoy the story; it's not the page turner that some describe (in my opinion). I wish there were a little more character development and/or more detailed descriptions in the content to help in comprehension (more visualization, maps, etc.). I feel strongly that background knowledge should be presented at the beginning of the book rather than the end; in a classroom environment this can be done, but this book was assigned as summer reading. I think that young readers would benefit by having those prior knowledge connections in place as they read.
A very good historical fiction book for youths. Although written from a female perspective, I think it's an important book for boys and girls this age to read. It realistically shows what life was like at the dawn of the United States, and how much more difficult and even frightening every day existence could be. it also gives a sense that young people can be self-reliant and even heroic.
it was assigned to a middle school Language Arts class I was substitute teaching. I downloaded it when I got home and finished it mostly because it was a good story, and I wanted to how it ended. As a writer,I really admire the craft that goes into writing quality youth fiction like this!
