Best Book by Far, Hands Way UpCommenter: Aj, grade 9
I first read this is 4th grade, and I think I have reread this every year of my life. This is my favorite book. And Fever has inspired me to read every book by Laurie Halse Anderson. She is such a terrific writer. This book will make you think in a totally new way and will really inspire you to read historical fiction. It isn't boring in the least and it is kid friendly. I think this book should be a requirement to get out of school, everyone should read such a great book. It's my absolute favorite. Happy Reading!
