The Great Trouble: A Mystery of London, the Blue Death, and a Boy Called Eel

â€œA delightful combination of race-against-the-clock medical mystery and outwit-the-bad-guys adventure.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly, Starred
Â
Eel has troubles of his own: As an orphan and a â€œmudlark,â€ he spends his days in the filthy River Thames, searching for bits of things to sell. Heâ€™s being hunted by Fisheye Bill Tyler, and a nastier man never walked the streets of London. And heâ€™s got a secret that costs him four precious shillings a week to keep safe. But even for Eel, things arenâ€™t so bad until that fateful August day in 1854â€”the day the deadly cholera (â€œblue deathâ€) comes to Broad Street.
Â
Everyone believes that cholera is spread through poisonous air. But one man, Dr. John Snow, has a different theory. As the epidemic surges, itâ€™s up to Eel and his best friend, Florrie, to gather evidence to prove Dr. Snowâ€™s theoryâ€”before the entire neighborhood is wiped out.
Â
â€œHopkinson illuminates a pivotal chapter in the history of public health. . . . Accessible . . . and entertaining.â€ â€”School Library Journal, Starred
Â
â€œFor [readers] who love suspense, drama, and mystery.â€ â€”TIME for Kids
