It's late summer 1793, and the streets of Philadelphia are abuzz with mosquitoes and rumors of fever. Down near the docks, many have taken ill, and the fatalities are mounting. Now they include Polly, the serving girl at the Cook Coffeehouse. But fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook doesn't get a moment to mourn the passing of her childhood playmate. New customers have overrun her family's coffee shop, located far from the mosquito-infested river, and Mattie's concerns of fever are all but overshadowed by dreams of growing her family's small business into a thriving enterprise. But when the fever begins to strike closer to home, Mattie's struggle to build a new life must give way to a new fight-the fight to stay alive.

Great book!
This book is probably the best I have ever read. This moving story about a girl in 1793 is filled with love and tragedy. Set during a time of death, this book is very saddening but a great piece of literature.
This book is like the best best best best b best best best best best best book ever, i read it all in one sitting.
i think that this is a good book except some parts i feel like they were dragged a little bit, other than that i really do like the book so far.
I loved this book! I actually cried! It is a touching story where a girl tries to escape the clutches of the Yellow Fever. While her mother is sick in bed she tries to go to another town with her grandpa to save him and herself. But everything turns wrong.....
