(4) 4-6 History's Greatest Disasters series. The 1918 pandemic killed millions, but it took researchers decades to identify the culprit as a virus and learn how it spreads to humans. A vaccine wasn't developed until 1944. A matter-of-fact text describes the illness's devastation; archival photos, graphs, and informative sidebars tell their own horrific story. Writing exercises and prompts to visit the publisher's website are intrusive. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
