When Plague Strikes: The Black Death, Smallpox, AIDS – An Arresting History of Medical Treatment and Death for Kids (Ages 8-12)

Compassionate and arresting, this exploration of three major diseases that have changed the course of historyâ€”the bubonic plague, smallpox, and AIDSâ€”chronicles their fearsome death toll, their lasting social, economic, and political implications, and how medical knowledge and treatments have advanced as a result of the crises they have occasioned. "A book that would serve well for reports, but it is also a fascinating read."â€”SLJ.
