The book Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson explores a real-world problem: sickness. The story takes place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This book is sad, chaotic, and upsetting.  It's about yellow fever and how it spread through Philadelphia and killed nearly 4,000 people. At the beginning, the book is calm, quiet, and peaceful, but by the end, everything has changed, and not for the better. In this book, Matilda, the main character, goes through a lot, including losing close friends and family. If you like sad, chaotic, and real-world-based books, then this book is for you.
