Summary:

Mitty Blake is a student at St. Raphael's Manhattan Preparatory (Prep) School, in New York. Prep school is usually a school for the wealthy or for the really smart kids. Mitty's life changes after he waits until the last minute to start his biology project for his prep school teacher. When he decides on his topic, smallpox, he begins his research in one of his mom's old medical books. In it, he finds an envelope with what appears to be some old smallpox scabs. Without thinking, he examines the scabs and touches them! Read Code Orange to find out what happens and to see if Mitty gets smallpox or something worse!

This book is good for boys and girls and is definitely an edge of your seat thriller.

I would give this book 4 ½ stethoscopes
