I don't recall ever hearing about yellow fever before I read this book. I found this to be a gripping story of a young boy who is forced by the death around him to make some very adult decisions. I found myself compelled to read it in one sitting. This is an excellent story for those who like historical fiction or sad stories. It has a great message also.

This book I think everyone should read! It is very good at detailing and I'm almost done reading it. I'm only eleven and I haven't read a whole lot of books and I just think this book is wounderful!!!
