epidemics
well, Im sure this is topical over the past few years
Ive read a few, the nost interesting accounts about the 1918 flu epidemic
There is a series published by scholastic that is historical fiction for young readers, usually written from a 12-14 year old point of view in diary format around historical events
In NZ the series is called My New Zealand Story
In the US its called Dear America
Australia , Canada and the UK also have their own versions
I have read most of the nz ones, and there was one called Pandemic, and Ive got Quarantine on my shelf to read. Its about smallpox or polio, I think.
will see if theres any titles in the Dear America series.
