OLDER FICTION
(2) YA Illustrated by Jean-Marc Superville Sovak. In 1906, Prudence takes a job at the Department of Health and Sanitation, helping track down the origins of a case of typhoid. Prudence's notes and observation lead to the culprit: "Typhoid Mary." Chibbaro keeps readers deeply engaged in Prudence's perceptions and feelings while delicately spinning out the story's threads, weaving real-life events into her fictional main character's tale.
