Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney

Mitty plans to be a rock concert reviewer so he really sees no use for the classes he is forced to take at school. Especially Advance Biology. When he is told that he had better do well on his project or be moved to another bio class, you'd think he would be happy. And he might have been if this hadn't been the only class he had with Olivia. At the family's country home, Mitty realizes that he has forgotten to get any books for his project and now is stuck with no book store and no library around. Fortunately, his mother has just received a collection of books that she will use to decorate some house but there are books that used to belong to a doctor. There must be something in there that Mitty can use. And sure enough, he finds so old medical books. In one of the books is an envelop that holds two scabs from an outbreak in 1902. After Mitty handles the scabs, he begins to think they might still be contagious. And after a little research, Mitty realizes he is dealing with smallpox. Will Mitty be responsible for bringing back a disease thought eradicated?
