Publisher's Description of Fever 1793 Study Guide | Progeny Press
First published in 2000, Fever 1793 is a harrowing but hopeful story of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, yellow fever outbreak of 1793. Fourteen-year-old Mattie helps run the family coffeehouse with her mother, grandfather, and coffeehouse cook Eliza, when rumors start circulating of a fever rising in Philadelphia. As the sweltering heat of summer continues, the yellow fever epidemic rages through Philadelphia and Mattie is separated from her family. Mattie faces great hardships and pain, but also great kindness, strength, and determination. And when Mattie is reunited with Eliza, and the epidemic ends and her mother returns, Mattie finds she is a much more capable and strong young woman than she had imagined.

The High School guides offer many
familiar and popular high school literature options from Progeny Press.
With over 37 titles to choose from, there are numerous books to fill your
students’ reading time! All titles are presented from a Christian worldview, and
each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building,
dedicated analysis work, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can
be copied for family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are
found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive)
for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is
for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back
and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini
author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are
more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and
content. Guided reading offers a structured reading experience that develops
analytical skills while enjoying a well-crafted story! ~Rebecca
