(2) YA When the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic strikes, seventeen-year-old Cleo responds to a call for volunteers from the Red Cross. She comes face-to-face not just with the invisible menace of the disease but also with anti-German sentiment and the mortality of her friends and loved ones. The setting of this novel, with meticulous but unobtrusive details, is remarkably realized.
