Book Title: Code Orange
Author: Caroline B. Cooney

So far, this novel is a pretty interesting read. The main character is an average teenager named Mitty who lives in New York City. As far as I've gotten, Mitty has to do a report on an infectious disease; he chooses Variola Major, scientific name for small pox. I really enjoy this novel because it was written in 2005, very up to date; also, the novel is read in 3rd person, so I like the fact that I can pretty much understand what is going on with all the characters involved in the plot of the novel. The novel is actually really interesting because it includes tons of facts on several viruses; I like how the author uses a unique combination of facts with her fictional story to create an interesting read. I've been reading practically every chance I get, and I assume the action will come within the next chapter or two.
