This book was so well written, I did not want to stop reading!

Young, gifted students could read this book. The only mature topic covered is death (no sexual stuff). The target audience is high school age, but I am in my 30's, and I loved reading the book. I cried along with the main character and hoped she would find her mother alive. I originally read the book to screen it for my daughter who is a gifted student, but very young. I enjoyed the book a lot more than I thought I would.

I liked how at the end the author lists what she made up and what is real, so kids can understand the real event.

Mattie is a growing, constantly hungry, and sleepy teenager who lives with her mother and grandfather in their coffeehouse in Philadelphia a decade after the Revolutionary War. She has a crush on a painter's apprentice, and her mother strives to not only make Mattie work harder, but to break into the upper class. Mattie's life changes when her city is suddenly the center of a Yellow Fever epidemic. She must deal with her sick mother, the differing opinions of care, thieves, starvation, her own health, and racism against her friend. A well-written, engaging, exciting, and dramatic coming-of-age story. Grade: A

J. Conkey's Book Review

The book Fever 1793 was about a girl who is sick and everybody else is sick as and she needs to help everybody. The girls name is Matilda, Father and Mother. Matilda is facing the fever to protect the citizens of 1793. This book took place in 1793.

The book 1793 is very recommended to everyone because it has lots of action and it shows passion. We learned that it takes that it takes pride and honor to help other people.

Fever

Thrilling, educational and exciting; Fever had me hooked by the first sentence! Set in 1793, Fever tells the story of a young girl dealing with the yellow fever epidemic. Honest to the soul, Fever is an amazing book and one of the greatest books I have ever read!

Informative read!

Besides being a wonderful story this is an accurate view of history during the making of our country. It is a heart-wrenching look at illness when we had no tools to combat sickness and, in general, I would seriously recommend having your children read this book. This author is amazing at historical accuracy and storytelling.
