Reader reviewed by Joey S.

Great book, very discriptive of how Mattie Cook's once stable life fell and crumbled becuase of an outbreak of yellow fever. She lived above her family coffee shop with her widowed mother and grandfather. She spent her days avoiding chores and making plans to turn the family biz into the best in Philidelphia. Then the fever struck.
As the disease wiped the streets, Mattie's world was turned upside down. When her mother becomes infected, Mattie flees the city with her only remaining family, her grandfather. As they search frantically for help, they discover that nearly every city is disease ridden and it seems there is no where else to turn. Mattie quickly learns how to survive on her own as she perserveers in her quest. VERY good, and exciting, i RECOMMEND STRONGLY!!
