A Death-Struck Year by Makiia Lucier
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This read as younger than I expected, and would be totally appropriate for even late elementary school children. For me, the seams on her research showed a little, as I have read a couple of the books she used to prepare this book, and in several places I recalled the passages in the non-fiction work she was drawing on for particular plot points. That said, it was a charming novel set in Portland, OR, during the Spanish flu. It hit a lot of my sweet spots, and I did enjoy it.
