(3) 4-6 Blackthorn Key series. Apothecary's apprentice Christopher (The Blackthorn Key) is tapped by traveling healer Galen to help produce a plague "cure." Christopher doubts the cure's authenticity and soon uncovers a conspiracy with Galen at the center. Though Sands portrays epidemic-stricken 1665 London as rampant with panic and superstition, Christopher's first-person narration, full of curiosity and humor, makes this fast-paced historical adventure fairly light.
