Briar's Book by Tamora Pierce
4.0
When visiting the city with his teacher, Rosethorn, Briar is confronted with a plague that puts the two of them into quarantine. Every resource is brought to bear to stop the spread of the disease before it escapes any further, but the death toll continues to rise.
Released from quarantine, they return to their temple home to work on finding a cure, only to find the danger there as well.
Pierce does a good job of bringing "modern" scientific inquiry into her fantasy setting. Rosethorn's very contemporary views of cleanliness and organization are not out of place in this setting. Briar's internal struggle to find his place in this world and to finally accept that he's no longer a street rat is also well done.
I love these full cast recordings. They are fun to listen to.
