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?

This book was very interesting. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
I found the book to be pretty good, but the end was too fast paced and made it kind of confusing to understand. I thought that the part about the terrorists being on the internet waiting for opportunities like the one Mitty gave them would be pretty scary in real life.
The book is pretty good.The middle is the best part of the book.Right when he starts to thinks that he has smallpox.The very end comes at you to fast.Over all its a very good book with lots of info about smallpox.
The book seemed really good but I thought that there would be more sources than they mentioned for the scabs from the disease. There was only 2 places whare you could find a source for the antidote/vaccine. Also the story was very exciting it kept you wondering what would happen next.
I though Code Orange was kind of a weird book scary evan.Being kidnapped and hit in the head loaded into a car and brought to a basment is not what Mitty had planed when he started his term paper. All he wanted to do was get a passing grade and stay in the advanced biology class so he could stare at olivia. Things change though.
I think code orange is a okay book. I would give it a rating of 6,although it had some interesting stuff. For example when Mitty was talking about Variola Major. I did not even know what it was until I read this book. I would not recomend Code orange to be read.
THis book was actually pretty good. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. I would recommend this book to all my friends.
This was probrably one of the best books ive ever read. It is very exciting and scary but a wonderful book to read. There was alot of facts about smallpox and what people did about it many years ago.
i am actually really likeing this book, i am not done yet but it seems to be very well written and definetly keeps me turning the pages! ive read eight chapters already and i just got the book today!
from other comments saying that the end comes too fast... i cant wait to see what the rest of the book is about!
;-]
I absolutely loved this book.
it was amazing. it was soo much fun to read and i just couldn't put it down. It was such a page-turner. and.. i managed to read the book in 3 days! i loved it
OMG! this was such an awesome book! i kept on reading it after 11 and in the morning I was like,
"WOO HOO! I FINISHED IT!"
It was interesting and fun!
can any1 tell me wat his best friends name is and the school he goes to and th eway he tries to kill himself
I read the book right after it came out and it was really interesting until about mid-way to the end of it. To me it seemed really unrealistic how he had all those symptoms but there wasn't much wrong with him. I personally believe that Caroline B. Cooney left the book unfinished and i wasn't at all pleased with how it ended.
this book was the best i,ve ever read!!!!!!!!!
I loved the book it was so good such a page turner i loved it so much i finished it in 2 days
This book rocks
omg this was such a page turner i loved t so much i read it within 2 days. Caroline writes so good books i give it 10000000/5 stars
this was kinda a confusing boring book to me....it wasnt very interesting....ive definately read better!
I think code orange was great because is has alot of action and it also is creepy when Mitty is trapped in the basment.
:)
I loved this book. It was suspenseful, and kept me reading to the end.
im still reading the book i think its really good i love everything about it the beginning, middle, and the endind. :~)
I thought that this was very suspensful and exciting. I would definately recommend it anyone. I didn't really like the way it ended though.
this book was good in content but so hard to write a report for seriously im up to like 5 pages and im half done!!!! good book though
this book was awesome
i love this book already, and i have only read like 40 pages. I can't set it down!
Its ok. Its not my favorite book.
