A review by protoman21
Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson

4.0

I enjoyed this, but it never grabbed me like I thought it would have considering its accolades. Mattie is relatively bland and even when exciting things happen, she doesn't really add to the moment. I thought Anderson did a good job of making the past relatable to kids and add excitement, but it almost came off as inauthentic and no longer historical. Still, I can see assigning this to kids to give them an idea of what it was like during this time.
