The streets of Philadelphia are alive with whispers of fever and mosquitoes in the late summer of 1793. Numerous people have fallen sick near the docks, and the number of deaths is rising. They now feature Cook Coffeehouse's Polly, the serving girl. However, fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook is unable to grieve for her childhood friend. Far from the mosquito-infested river, her family's coffee shop has been overwhelmed with new customers, and Mattie's worries about fever are almost completely eclipsed by her hopes of turning her family's little company into a successful venture. However, Mattie's battle to start again must give way to a new battle—the battle to survive—when the fever starts to affect him closer to home.
