History Smashers: Plagues and Pandemics | Kate Messner

2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

Myths! Lies! Secrets! Uncover the hidden truth about history's pandemics, from the Black Death to COVID-19. Perfect for fans of I Survived! and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales. During the Black Death in the 14th century, plague doctors wore creepy beaked masks filled with herbs. RIGHT? WRONG! Those masks were from a plague outbreak centuries later--and most doctors never wore anything like that at all! With a mix of sidebars, illustrations, photos, and graphic panels, acclaimed author Kate Messner delivers the whole truth about diseases like the bubonic plague, cholera, smallpox, tuberculosis, polio, influenza, and COVID-19. Discover the nonfiction series that smashes everything you thought you knew about history! Don't miss History Smashers: The Mayflower, Women's Right to Vote, Pearl Harbor, Titanic, and American Revolution.

I read books about diseases frequently but still learned things from this book geared towards kids.

I saw this book posted on Instagram and it looked really interesting so I thought I would check it out. I learned so much information about plagues and pandemics that I didn‘t know. This book smashed myths that you thought were real but it really wasn‘t. Loved how the information was presented. I just wanted to keep reading. I ordered the other books in this nonfiction series and can‘t wait to read the rest of them!
