Plague: Shades Series

by David Orme

The year is 1665 and the plague has come to the city of London. For Henry Harper, apprentice, life will never be the same. His father has died of the plague, and his mother and brother have fled to the country. Now Henry is alone, and must find a way to escape from the city he loves, before he, too, is struck down. This new series features popular stories from the "Shades" series that have been reduced in length and complexity to provide a gripping, achievable read for less able or reluctant readers.
