Everybody likes twelve-year-old Josie Winslow. While she helps in the family drug store and plans for the first day of school, her pharmacist father is puzzled by newspaper articles about influenza arriving in New York on ships from Europe. It is still summer. Flu is a winter disease.<\/p>\n<p>Billy Detwiler has been kicked out of prep school. No one, not even Billy, is happy he will be in Josie\u2019s school let alone her eighth-grade class. He is a bully of the first order and is looking for his next victim. He calls Josie \u201cPharmacy Girl,\u201d but it is no compliment.<\/p>\n<p>By mid-October, what was once \u201cjust the flu\u201d is now an epidemic. Doctors are baffled. Josie\u2019s father has never seen anything like it. Flu is usually only a problem for the very old or the very young. But Spanish influenza is different: it is killing young and healthy adults\u2014like Josie\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n<p>But there are no effective vaccines, no ventilators, and no anti-virals to stop a pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Can Josie help the people she loves, and the bully she hates, survive?<\/p>\n<p>Published before COVID and inspired by stories of the author\u2019s pharmacist grandfather, Pharmacy Girl is Kate Szegda\u2019s award-winning debut novel for middle-grade readers and people who love history.<\/p>\n<p>If you like historically rich page turners and heartfelt stories of hope and resilience, you will love Pharmacy Girl.<\/p>\n<p>Awards<\/p>\n<p>California Teachers&#8217; Association, California Reads selection 2021-2022Readers&#8217; Favorite International Book Award, Finalist, Children&#8217;s Pre-teen Fiction 2021National Federation of Press Women, 2nd Place Award for Children\u2019s Fiction 2020Delaware Press Association Award, Children\u2019s Fiction 2020American Book Fest, Best Book Awards, Finalist, Children&#8217;s Fiction 2020Moonbeam Children\u2019s Fiction Award, Silver Medal for Pre-teen Historical\/Cultural Fiction 2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Independently published (February 5, 2019) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 310 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1791660576 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1791660574 <br \/> Reading age                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 9 &#8211; 12 years <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 14.7 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 6 x 0.7 x 9 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the narrative interesting and engaging.
