what does mattie cook like to do in her free time in the book fever 1793

As far back as Mattie can remember, her father had been the only person who could make her mother laugh and smile. Unfortunately, her father died when he fell off of a ladder and broke his neck while trying to fix up the place for the grand opening. Bustling with people from all over the city, it seemed like a cheerful dream to look towards. Mattie's father had dreams about owning their own coffeehouse. Historically accurate and excellent at describing vivid and bone chilling images, Laurie Halse Anderson puts the reader smack-dab into 1793 and onto the streets of Philadelphia.

While reading the book, you feel drawn towards and close to our heroine, Mattie. Young adult readers will honestly enjoy this book because this is the story about a young girl who the readers can really relate to.

Mattie lives with her mother and grandfather in Philadelphia in an apartment over their family business, a coffeehouse. Always up stitching quilts, spinning wool, she constantly kept herself busy. It's the year 1793 and the only thing little fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook needs to worry about is how to avoid her mother's scoldings.
