Summary: Fever 1793
Review: Fever 1973 is a book that will bring you to a world you would never imagine! I'm doing this for a school project. Laurie Halse Anderson brings all characters to life. You get into the book and you feel like you are part of the book. The books was filled with adventure and mystery, main character, mattie cook lives in the city of Philadelphia. Suddenly people start dying from a disease called Yellow Fever. Her mother contacts it and so Mattie flees from Philadelphia with her grandfather. Each chapter begins with a quote of people from the book and it is hard to follow. It was a good books, in fact, I stayed up late to read it.

Summary: Not The Most Entertaining Book
Review: This is a well written novel, but its not very much of an entertaining novel. Neither is it that historical, in fact, I'm not sure what its supposed to be. The plot of the story revolves around a girl coming of age when the yellow fever hits. It follows her through several ordeals as she tries to find her mother, and take care of her grandfather and a young child she finds.

The books is extremly slow moving and never really comes to a thrilling climax, but it has a few emotional moments. If you are the type of person who really needs a novel to be gripping in order for it to hold your attention, this is not the book for you.

Summary: Fever 1973
Review: Imagine that a long time you and your Grandfather had to run away from the town because yellow fever has just broke out. The fever has just stroke in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and there is little hope that you will not get it. Mattie Cook is a fourteen-year-old adventurous girl with a big imagination. Her and her Grandfather had to leave the city because fever had hit their city. The story Fever 1793 was written by Laurie Halse Anderson. The story is historical fiction.
Mattie Cook's mother and Grandfather own a coffee house right by town. Mattie has bigger dreams and wants to turn the coffee house into the finest business in Philadelphia, the capital of the Untied States. All her dreams get wrecked when fever breaks through the whole town. Many close friends have died and Mattie gets the most shocking News yet. Mattie's maid Eliza tells Mattie that her very good friend Polly had died of yellow fever. Mattie and her Grandfather must leave town to go to fresher air in Gwynedd, because her Mother is very sick. They get on a wagon with a Farmer, his wife and baby. They all get stopped by two men and must be examined in order to pass through the city, Pembroke. Mattie's Grandfather gets checked by one of the men and gets thrown off the wagon because he might be catching yellow fever. Stranded from anywhere but trees and a stream Mattie must find help for she might get yellow fever.
I recommend this book to people who like adventures and people who like stories based on truth. This book will get you hooked so bad that you might want to read it over the weekend because you won't be able to put the book down. This is a very good story and I have read it twice. What will happen to Mattie? Read the book and find out.

Summary: Fwever 1793 a review by Tonya
Review: " Matilda, Polly is dead." Yellow Fever is spreading over Philadelphia. It is soon going to come to Matilda's house. Matilda and her Mother own a coffeehouse. Fever by Laurie Halse Anderson is a great book!
Matilda, the narrator, is a great protagonist! Her mother is afraid to let walk to the store because of what the doctor said. The doctor said Yellow Fever was in town for the first time ever and Yellow Fever comes as slow as molasses!
Polly died and they don't know what it was from. The doctor said it was Yellow Fever. Some people moved from Philadelphia to England, like birds going to the south for winter except they stay there.
Another thing that happened is Matilda's grandfather let Matilda go to the store! He let her go because she deserved to go outside. She also had been working hard.
Her Mom as I told you was afraid to let her go. But, her grandfather did!
If you want to figure out what happens to Matilda and her family try and find " Fever " in your classroom, library at school, or your local library! I hope you read more about Matilda! I encourage you to!

Summary: Read it in one night-it's that good!!!!!
Review: Yes, that's right, I read all 243 in one night! This is one book that you will not be putting down once you open it up. I was amazed at how detailed the book was-from language(though not overpowering) to the lifestyle of people from that era. I'll admit, parts with the disease were not pleasant to read about, but I love stuff that's gory! I highly, highly recommend this book! You won't regret it!

Summary: Fever 1793
Review: This book is about the outbreak of the yellow fever in 1793. It tells about the Cook family's experiences and struggles. Mattie is faced with some difficult times as a teen and overcomes many hardships. Mattie finds Nell, a toddler, and takes care of her as if they were sisters. Laurie Halse Anderson did a wonderful job writing this book as if she was there; I enjoyed this book and learn more about the yellow fever.
