Code Orange

A thriller!

'Code Orange' was a book I read for Summer Reading. The first few chapters didn't pull me in, but I decided that I should keep reading. I am glad that I did! This is probably one of my favorite books! I finished it in less than a day and it is a terriffic, fast read. I would recomend it to everyone and anyone.

A Heart Racing Read

Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney is a scary and amazing read. Just like in previous books, Cooney manages to portray a real feeling, emotional, scary, teenage setting. Mitty is a normal, lazy, teenage guy growing up in New York City. That is until his teacher assigns a report on infectious diseases and he actually decides to do his homework for once. He opens a hundred year old book his mother has lying around and finds Smallpox scabs from the 1911 epidemic. It doesn't occur to him until about half way through his report what this could mean for him. As teens are prone to do, Mitty keeps the problem to himself and lets it haunt him. This book is an emotional roller coaster, one minute Mitty's sure he's dying, the next he figures his contact with the scabs was actually an ancient innaculation, the next he's worrying about opening the epidemic again to the whole world. This story has an amazing, new and exciting plot; an invisible enemy with no brain and no conscience. This story has an amazing ending and will leave your skin crawling for days. This is most definately an unforgettable read.

Response to "i have a question"

Yes, from what i rember from reading the book a month or so ago, i belive it is appropriate for ages 9-12 although they do describe what smallpox would do to you and what the pustules looked like.

Could of been better

Gross, fanastic, suspensful

I loved this book! For Reading Olympics i picked this as my first book and i hope all the others are as good as this one. This book had facts, suspense, and even a bit of humor, three things that help make a book a good read. Fantastic Caroline Cooney.

Very good

This is a really good book and a quick read if you get into it:)

Good read

I read this book for a report in health, and i enjoyed it.

intricut story line, very intrigueing

Mitty, a teenage boy that attends a Manhattan advanced biology class, scrambles to finish a project that he had been slacking off on for the past few weeks. Now for the sake of getting kicked out of school, he gets a move on writing down a few small pox notes when he stumbles upon a 100 year old sealed envelope...

I would reccomend this book to sci-fi action readers for the sophisticated, yet intrigueing story line.

i rate this book a 9.3/10

BORING

had to read it in science class the dumbest book ever i hated this

Factual and Fantastic

I wished it didn't have to end. It gets more interesting everytime and always has me hanging on the edge of my seat. Small pox is a truly terrifying concept, but an intresting to read about it in fictional form. It entertains you and teaches you. Everything should be learned this way! Another great Caroline Cooney!!!

Good but not the best

Code Orange is a good book about a teen boy who gets the small pox by a scab. I believe that it is highly predictable. From moment one you can tell what will happen. Otherwise it is a good book.
