Danger Zone - Avoid Meeting Typhoid Mary!

This title in the very popular Danger Zone series explores the life and times of Typhoid Mary. Read about her early beginnings as a young girl travelling alone from Ireland to New York, her time on an island in a hospital being used to test all kinds of drugs, and how she passed typhoid fever from one person to another. You'll learn both sides of the story and have to decide, was Mary wicked or just careless?

The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their understanding of what life would have been like in the heyday of the Inca empire. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal introduction to the conventions of non-fiction texts for young readers.
