Review: I SURVIVED THE BLACK DEATH, 1348 by Lauren Tarshis

 


A plague was coming to a small English village that no one could stop. Of course, nobody believed this lying scammer. Elsie was a brave, young girl. When she sees the sheriff cavorting with outlaws, she wants to do what’s right. Soon, Elsie realized that the plague was real. How can you outrun the plague? What will happen when Elsie succumbs to the Black Death?

 

Nice B/W illustrations. I especially liked the one with the wasp nest and the hallucinating scene after Elsie gets infected.

 

A gripping story about a scary time in history!
