After the Great War and Canada's violet Spanish flu epidemic, 14-year-old DavidStaifer is left an orphan. As he recounts his life, David discovers a way to find hislong lost uncle: hockey. The only way to get to Seattle is to take job withMontreal's National Hockey League; but with the fever still at large on the WestCoast, can David survive long enough to find his Uncle? Will his beloved teamsurvive the hockey tournament as well?Fever Season was a nice peak intothe past of hockey and what life was like duringWorld War I. At first the story was kinda slow, especially when David talkedabout his childhood; only when he joined the hockey team as a sort of janitor boy, did things start to pick up. The reason I picked up Fever Season wasbecause it was set on Canada. I don't know anything about Canadian history (Ididn't even know about the fever), so I thought this book would help. Eventhough it was probably a bit too juvenile for me, I still enjoyed learning about20th century Canada and what orphans had to go through during those times.With its lightness and memoir like style, I would definitely recommend to anyhockey fan or history buff.
