As an entomologist who often lectures on insects and their effect on history, I recommend this book to middle and high school teachers for their students.
This is an excellent historical novel about the year (1793) yellow fever struck Philadelphia, when that city was the capital of the United States.
It has both white and Afro-American characters in positive roles.
This book has received numerous awards, including:
ALA Best Book for Young Adults
A Junior Library Guild Selection
New York Public Library's Best Books for the Teen Age
New York Public Library's 100 Books for Reading and
Sharing
An IRA Teacher's Choice
