Gr. 5-8. In the summer of 1665, Hannah travels to London to reside with your ex older sister, Sarah, the dog owner of your sweetmeats shop. But the bubonic plague begins taking hold, and although Hannah enjoys the joy of big-city life, the realities from the epidemic soon become impossible to ignore. Hooper fills her story with the sights, sounds, and smells of seventeenth-century London: heads decorate London Bridge, and the putrid aroma of rotting meat and kitchen slops pervades the air. Secondary characters--among them an apothecary and his apprentice--help to broaden Hannah's experiences and enhance the countless setting and historical details. Quotes from Samuel Pepys' Diary head each chapter, and appended notes plus a glossary add towards the authenticity with the story. Historical fiction buffs will discover much to like, and classes studying the period will quickly realize this an excellent resource, particularly when associated with James Cross Giblin's When Plague Strikes (1995), or Jim Murphy's A United States Plague [BKL Je 1 & 15 03], which brings the tragedy of your epidemic better home.
