Review

"Readers won't soon forget either the profoundly disturbing premise of this page-turner or its likable, ultimately heroic slacker protagonist."

"Cooney's...tat-a-tat delivery and hairpin turns keep the pages turning in this attention-grabbing post-9/11 thriller."

Publisher's note

Walking around New York City was what Mitty Blake did best. He loved the city, and even after 9/11, he always felt safe. Mitty was a carefree guy–he didn’t worry about terrorists or blackouts or grades or anything, which is why he was late getting started on his Advanced Bio report.
Mitty does feel a little pressure to hand something in–if he doesn’t, he’ll be switched out of Advanced Bio, which would be unfortunate since Olivia’s in Advanced Bio. So he considers it good luck when he finds some old medical books in his family’s weekend house that focus on something he could write about. But when he discovers an old envelope with two scabs in one of the books, the report is no longer about the grade–it’s about life and death. His own.
This edge-of-your-seat thriller will leave you breathless.


From the Hardcover edition.

Annotation

Accidental small pox infection, bioterrorism, and a race against time create a cocktail that is one part thriller and one part scientific inquiry, mixed with a dash of unrequited love. A restless 16, Mitty would rather spend his time surreptitiously listening to music in class and mooning over Olivia, a brilliant classmate, than study. Forced to hit the books for a research project in biology, Mitty encounters a tiny scrape of what could possibly be living smallpox virus. This incident forces Mitty to come out of his music-induced coma and save himself--and the entire population of New York City--from certain death. From the author of THE FACE ON THE MILK CARTON.
