I'd really liked "Speak" by this author, and her "Shout" ... and I like historical fiction, and it was #middlegradeMay (upper end, YA). So, up next. I'd picked up the physical book at some point, and I borrowed the audio and Kindle copy from the library. I went primarily with the audio. 

The story starts in August 1793 and covers the next few months.  While I feel like I learned a little, more than I knew about yellow fever and the plague that hit ... I just never really connected with the characters or got pulled into the story. Sure, I felt bad when bad things happened, but there was no real emotional gut punch. I'm not sure how much I'll remember.  I never felt the urge to stop and make notes/highlights, no wishing this was a book club pick so I would have others to discuss it with. I'll put my physical copy out in the Little Free Library (which was the point of the book purchase). I'm not sorry I took the time to read it, but I don't know that I'd really recommend it either. 

1st person - POV of 14 year old Mattie. Past tense.

I like the cover, the yellowness of it ... simple title works.
