"The panic unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community in a seemingly idyllic suburban community. The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hocky star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community. As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security" -- from publisher's web site.

Great book submitted by Lucy S on August 3, 2014, 4:53am This book is good for teens and adults. I enjoyed Abbot's crisp writing and the way she sets the novel. The feeling is suspenseful and dark.
The Fever submitted by hcf on August 26, 2014, 9:01pm Interesting story.
Page turner submitted by emjane on August 16, 2017, 8:41pm Like Abbott's other books, The Fever is a fast-paced thriller. Though the book doesn't 100% live up to the premise, it's still worth the read.
