 We are a group of 7th grade girls (Hannah, Sarah, Lauren, Andi, and Kelly) that read the book fever. We are from Olson Middle School. On this site you will find a plot outline of the book, a character web, vocabulary, author info, a cross word, reviews, discussion questions, and connections.

In 1793, Mattie Cook lives with her mother and Grandfather. They live in a little house with a coffee shop below the bed chamber. They are very successful in their business until one day yellow fever was brought over from a river boat. Everyone around her is getting sick and dying including her maid Polly. Then her mother starts getting sick and she is on the verge of death. Eliza stays home with her mother and her mother said to go to Ludington's Farm to stay with her Aunt, but then they were stopped and had to turn around, and go back. Will her family and friend make it through the fever? Read Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson to find out.
