There is a book I am trying to remember the name of. What I can remember:
-A teenage girl is the main character.
-I think she lives around the time of the Depression.
-There is an epidemic going around...I'm almost positive it is yellow fever...
-I remember during one part she is walking with her grandfather...then something bad happens and she is later in a hospital.
-I think maybe her mother is either very ill or dies with the disease.
-I think her house is robbed, and she tries to fight the robbers?
-I think there is talk of burying the dead, all together, and the main character has a problem with that?
-I think the cover of the book is a face with yellow skin and sickly green eyes.
I'm sorry, I don't really remember a lot. I think some of this info might not be right.....but I'm pretty sure.
Thanks so much to everyone who helps me!

This is Fever, 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson, who also wrote Speak. Both excellent books.
