"San Francisco, 1900. The Gilded Age. A fantastic time to be alive for lots of people...but not for thirteen-year-old Lizzie Kennedy, stuck at Miss Barstow's snobby school for girls. Lizzie's secret passion is science, an unsuitable subject for finishing-school students. She lives to go on house calls with her physician father. On those visits to his patients, Lizzie discovers a hidden dark side of the city--a side that's full of secrets, rats, and rumors of the plague. The newsapapers, her powerful uncle, and her beloved papa all deny that the plague has reached san Francisco. So why is the heart of the city under quarantine? Why are angry mobs trying to burn Chinatown to the ground? Why is twelve-year-old Noah, the Chinese cook's son, suddenly making Lizzie question everything she has always known to be true? Lizzie and Noah must put the pieces together in a heart-stopping race to save the people they love."--Jacket. |
