" Anderson has a way with words! This is my favorite of all her books but she has a way with all her books to captivate her readers and make her readers really feel, see and hear what living in this time must have been like for the main character. She is absolutely fantastic. I strongly recommend these books to my students as well, they are so true to history - Anderson puts in so much effort to find her facts and back story. Wonderfully written - finished in a couple a days over just a few hours. So good! "

" 5 th grade tutoring book. Good one!!:) "

" This is definetly worth a read! I am a historical fiction fan and this is a book set in early America (1793) where populations could be wiped out with the introduction of a new disease...in this case yellow fever. The remedies were interesting, the taboos were interesting, the fact that they thought blacks couldn't get yellow fever...really? Great story of a heroine trying to do the best she can as the world she knows falls apart around her. "

" Hey, the girl on the cover kind of looks like Emma Watson... "
