Amazon.com description: Product Description: âA delightful combination of race-against-the-clock medical mystery and outwit-the-bad-guys adventure.â âPublishers Weekly, Starred
Â
Eel has troubles of his own: As an orphan and a âmudlark,â he spends his days in the filthy River Thames, searching for bits of things to sell. Heâs being hunted by Fisheye Bill Tyler, and a nastier man never walked the streets of London. And heâs got a secret that costs him four precious shillings a week to keep safe. But even for Eel, things arenât so bad until that fateful August day in 1854âthe day the deadly cholera (âblue deathâ) comes to Broad Street.
Â
Everyone believes that cholera is spread through poisonous air. But one man, Dr. John Snow, has a different theory. As the epidemic surges, itâs up to Eel and his best friend, Florrie, to gather evidence to prove Dr. Snowâs theoryâbefore the entire neighborhood is wiped out.
Â
âHopkinson illuminates a pivotal chapter in the history of public health. . . . Accessible . . . and entertaining.â âSchool Library Journal, Starred
Â
âFor [readers] who love suspense, drama, and mystery.â âTIME for Kids
