FEVER 1793

Laurie Halse Anderson, . . S&S/Aladdin, $5.99 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-689-84891-9

PW called this ambitious novel about the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged 18th-century Philadelphia "extremely well researched. However, larger scale views take precedence over the kind of intimate scenes that Anderson crafted so masterfully in Speak." Ages 10-up. (Mar.)
