This book delves into the medical mystery surrounding the cause of yellow fever. Following the steps taken in 1900 by American Walter Reed and his crew as they travel to Cuba to investigate three different theories about the deadly disease, readers will learn how far a team of researchers will go to find the answers they seek.
This is an excellent non-fiction book written for students in grade 5 and up. Intrigued by the story and the photographs, I actually stayed up late to finish reading it!
