Fever – School Journal Level 4 May 2015

In Fever, a young girl named Carly attends a school camp at a former tuberculosis sanatorium, despite suffering from a worsening sore throat and a deep-seated fear of ghosts. As her illness peaks into a delirium, she is visited by the spirit of a thin, pale girl who has waited a century to share her secrets with someone living. When Carly’s fever finally breaks and she is sent home, her mother is unsettled by a subtle, chilling change in her daughter’s voice that suggests the encounter was far more than a dream.
