Fever 1793, Is a book that I found to be Very inspiring and made you want to read for hours. I usually read more fantasy books but my first historical fiction book is one to remember!
Fever 1793 is basically about a girl named Mattie. Her family (Mother and Grandfather) run a small coffee house in Philadelphia back in 1793. At this time, Philadelphia is like the New Worlds capital. But when summer comes, a fever comes to. Many people fall sick. And then the fever hits the coffee house. Matties own mother gets a serious case of fever. Most doctors don't know what is best for the patience. Maatties mother dicides to send her to the country side, to get away from all the sickness and death. But she too ends up with the fever.
This book has been one of my best reading experiences ever! I definantly recomend it to everyone!

I loved this book in elementry school. My fifth grade teacher stole it from me
But yeah, from what I remember it was really good. I should probably read it again or something.
Yeah, I totally agree. It is probably on my top list for Must-Read books
I liked it because, like most of you said, it didn't hide the gruesome facts from the reader. It just told you flat out how it was.
Very Inspirational!
I just recently read that book again just for fun, and found that it was even better the second time.
It was a very moving and poignant book, and displayed courage, and heartache in a non-gruesome way.
I loved that book! It was the first book to ever make me cry.
Yeah, I really liked it too. Probably because of the fact that it wasn't all that fluffy, like some historical fiction I could mention...*sorts through old writing folder*
