I finished this masterpiece a couple of days ago. It was part of my anti-depression about my husband being in the hospital while I was home with fibro-flare. In this case, I would say misery loves company. Or... at least things aren't as bad as it was then.This was a birthday present from me--to me! I had picked up the whispersync for voice also so I was able to listen to Emily Bergl's narration. I have to admit she is not my favorite narrator. But once she was into the story I felt drawn in and forgot that there was a narrator.Laurie Halse Anderson always amazes me with her works. This book is no exception. Wow! The amount of research that she dug through to write this fiction is overwhelming! This is based on a real epidemic that happened just a few years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Yellow Fever takes over. But no one knows yet that it is due to the mosquitoes. Medicine was still in its infancy. Through Ms. Anderson, we get to see what could have happened to a young girl, her family and her community.Okay. Confession time. I have never been a history buff. I did have a fabulous professor in college that made me appreciate it a bit. That class was when I was in my forties. So imagine how long it was that I hated history. I think with books like this I might have been able to relate to historical events as a middle grader on. This younger generation is so lucky to have such writers as Laurie Halse Anderson!
I read this book with my daughter for her summer reading assignment. I think I enjoyed it more! I love historical fiction and this book was very interesting in describing the 1793 yellow fever plague in Philadelphia through the eyes of young 14 year old Mattie Cook. She lives with her mother and paternal grandfather. They run a coffee house in their house when the fever hits and empties the cities of its citizens, either through death or exodus to the country. This book depicts this very devastating time very realistically, while also making you care for Mattie and her family. I have always loved history and I love learning it through historical fiction. It is entertaining and informative at the same time. This book is appropriate for readers of all ages.
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.
I loved this book myself when I was in 5th grade, so I bought it to read to my 5th graders in our small reading groups. The books came in excellent condition, and I think will become a favorite of my students as well as we read. Historical Fiction is great, and this book is well written to explain what was happening when people got sick with yellow fever in 1793.
I purchased this for my son's summer reading list, however, I chose to read it first.What a great period fiction book. After reading Fever 1793, I found myself researching the epidemic to find out what really happened. Ms. Anderson clearly did her research as the piece was accurate with what I was reading in the research.My son also enjoyed the book and we spent some time discussing the book, which as any parent with a 12 year old boy knows, isn't an easy task.I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction.
Fever 1793 begins with good historical information for the reader who may not be aware of the situation in Philadelphia. In the middle of the book, the story becomes more melodramatic as it focuses on the main character as she tries desperately to find her mother and a place for her grandfather and her as the fever engulfs the city. The book quickly ends in somewhat dramatic form as she comes of age. For Middle School students, this is an easy and good read and provides some historical context. As a Middle School Humanities teacher (English and History) I was hoping for more detail as to how our nation got to Philadelphia as students at this grade level have very little historical context. In order to fill the information gap, we spent about a week to learn about the Revolutionary War, the founding of our government, who were the principle players (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Rush, and others) in order to create a foundation and prior knowledge. Overall, the book is entertaining and an easy read for Middle School Students but be prepared to answer many questions about the fever, reasons as to why it got to Philadelphia, and its impact on the human body.
Well written and historically accurate. The problem is mine. I did not realize it was written for adolescent women. I realized this before I started to read it but decided to read it anyway. I read all of the Hunger Games books and enjoyed them even though they were written for the same readership. This was a fast read that pulled no punches relative to the tragic period of the yellow fever. It was informative and encouraged me to look up the history of the period. The characters were real with some depth. I enjoyed it.
