At the sign of the Sugared Plum: Mary Hooper


Plot summery:
Hannah has lived all her life in the English countryside, so she is thrilled when, in the summer of 1665, her older sister Sarah invites her to come live with her in London and help her at her candy shop. However, arriving in London she finds Sarah had sent a second letter instructing her not to come. Plague has taken hold in London, and Sarah fears for Hannah's life. Hannah insists on staying, believing she will be safe. But to her horror, in the coming weeks more and more people die, and the sickness becomes an epidemic. Hannah finds herself living every day in fear that she will catch the Plague and die from it, for there is little hope of surviving it, and no way of leaving the city to escape.

This book is nail biting, and keep me on the edge of my seat when i read it. However it is also very sad as Hannah and Sarah have no idea if they will wake up the next morning alive and live day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.

I would definitely recommend this book to you if you love descriptive, emotional and powerful books. This book deserves a ***** star rating! I REALLY DO RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YOU!!!!
