Rendition Concering Books Fever 1793

It's late summer 1793, and the streets of Philadelphia are abuzz with mosquitoes and rumors of fever. Down near the docks, many have taken ill, and the fatalities are mounting. Now they include Polly, the serving girl at the Cook Coffeehouse. But fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook doesn't get a moment to mourn the passing of her childhood playmate. New customers have overrun her family's coffee shop, located far from the mosquito-infested river, and Mattie's concerns of fever are all but overshadowed by dreams of growing her family's small business into a thriving enterprise. But when the fever begins to strike closer to home, Mattie's struggle to build a new life must give way to a new fight—the fight to stay alive.

Discuss Based On Books Fever 1793

Fever Laurie Anderson is the author of this wonderful book, witch has a outstanding content. The author uses a romantic technique of writing witch is bonded to the fearful story of the fever in 1793, an example of this romantic writing is the following "I threw my arms around Nathaniel and planted a big kiss on his cheek." (Anderson 232). The story begins in Philadelphia when we get introduced to a girl with such a life. The author gives us an excellent use of language witch describes the book

The fever of 1973 was the first high school book that was assigned for me to read over the summer. I would do what every other student does and trash the book or try to talk about all the good things that they liked in the book but shockingly I not only liked but enjoyed the book. I liked the plot of the book, I liked the main character Maddy and I also liked the the different places and views that the book took place in.I said I liked the main character Maddy because of her building character.

2.5 stars. A lot of potential and good writing style, but ultimately just another boring, archetypal historical fiction. This book is by no means bad. Anderson's prose flows very nicely, making even the boring bits easy to read. But it's just too average. This book doesn't break any historical fiction molds. Anderson breaks no boundaries with her boring plotting. Fever 1793 is far too drawn out. It's just boring all the way through. The main protagonist here was somewhat likable, but she's

Many years ago I took my now adult kids out of public school to home-school them, and this was one of the first books I bought to add to their reading curriculum and library when I was looking for entertaining ways to teach history. Well, guess what? We all loved this book!! I've thought about it often through the years and now... I think it's time for a re-read. It's thought provoking in a way younger readers can understand, and older readers can appreciate. Blurb...It's late summer 1793, and

Fascinating glimpse into the 1793 yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia. As a history nerd I hugely enjoyed the obvious care the author has taken to make this book historically accurate and vivid.

3.5 starsThis was a quick read (or listen, I should say) and Emily Bergl does a fine job reading. I've never actually learned much about the yellow fever plague of 1793, so it was interesting in that I was learning while reading, which I always enjoy. Maddie was a good character and didn't seem Mary Sue-ish. I loved Eliza. I might have liked a bit more explanation in the epilogue about what happened to them-- I assume Nell grew up alongside the twins with Maddie as surrogate mother, and I like
