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.

it a good book
This book Is so good my favorite part is when the grandfather is fluting with the nurse Mrs. Flagg
Fever 1793 is a very good book because I feel as though it showed how lucky we are to have all of this modern medicine to help us. Also, it shows the lifestyle of 1790's. It is about this girl named Maddie and how her family survives this horrible tragic time where civilization, humanity, and hope is lost.
I absolutely LOVE this book! You won't want to put it down, it's an amazing book!
