At the Sign of the Sugared Plum by Mary Hooper
An historical novel set at the time of The Great Plague in London. It conveys how the atmosphere in London changes from a disbelief that the Plague is anything serious, to the full-blown horror of the death carts and being locked up - in effect to die - if your house is suspected of infection.
'This story remains gripping throughout' Independent 'Informative and engaging' Observer 'A thrilling story.. A very enjoyable and extremely well-written book that will really appeal to teenage and pre-teenage readers' School Librarian
