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.

This is a great book, and I loved it! It is so amazing with all the twists and turns that Maddie deals with. And how she stays strong through it all.- papamurphies555Monday, October 7, 2019 at 10:45 amThis is one of the best books i have ever read. its thrilling and it takes you captive into the story.
This was an okay book but it was really scary in my opinion. If you want to read this book don't read it at night.
1 word...WOW!!! This book is VERY good and I loved it a lot. It was so different form the books I’m used to reading and the time of the book is very different from what I usually read which was new to me but very good!!!
Fever 1793 is the story of a 14-year-old girl fighting to stay alive in the Yellow Fever Epidemic. I suggest this book to grades 3rd and up. Ages 9 and up. I suggest that due to some death content and some violent scenes. I suggest this to people who enjoy non-fiction and adventure. It is a really good book!- Spaced outWednesday, December 26, 2018 at 3:18 pmThis is an awesome book! My teacher started reading it to us not to long ago and it we still didn't finish the book. But I did do well on the quiz. I'm sad the grandfather died, though. 😞

Being a girl who gets lost in thought over the deeper plots, this book had me from the start. From beginning to end, this beautifully written story grasps your attention and leaves you hungry enough to read the last page before the first. I was head over heels, falling into the cold water, too deep, free falling, trigger-happy in love with Fever. We're all sure you'll be, too.
