Very, Very, Very Dreadful: The Influenza Pandemic of 1918 by Albert MarrinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Get your damn flu shot, folks. Love the scary cover, and, whoa, the flu sucks. A picture or illustration seems to be on every page, and I loved finding out more about the black plague and how the fly has changed over the years, all the way up to the recent bird flu problem in Asia. Footnotes are included, and the author puts in his own voice occasionally to lighten things up. Probably not the best book to read at the airport as I'm coughing and sniffing. :) Recommended for junior high and high school.
