At the Sign of the Sugared Plum by Mary Hooper


I thought this book was really good. It was well written and had really good detail included. The book is set in 1665, and is all about the plague. It is about a young girl who used to live in the country and is now going into London for the first time to help her sister in her sweetmeats shop, ‘The Sugared Plum’. When Hannah gets there her sister is not the most welcoming, because she was horrified that Hannah did not receive the message to stay away and not come, because the Plague was going to attack London.

The book has excellent detail, about every street and door, describes all the smells and atmosphere in London during the plague. I would definitely recommend this book.
