Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hockey star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie’s best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community.<br /><br />As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town’s fragile idea of security.<br /><br />A chilling story about guilt, family secrets and the lethal power of desire, <i>The Fever</i> affirms Megan Abbot’s reputation as "one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation” (Laura Lippman).
