Spanish Description

Revenge against the flies

En 1912, ciudades de todo el mundo libraron una guerra contra la mosca en un intento desesperado por controlar la enfermedad. En Inglaterra, William Alton, de doce años, perdió a su madre por la peste blanca y a su hermana por la gripe aviar. Cuando Will y su padre emigran a Canadá en busca de mejores oportunidades, él también busca respuestas. ¿Por qué todos sus conocidos tienen que enfermar y morir? En su segundo día en su nueva escuela, la Central Public, el oficial de salud anuncia el concurso de caza de moscas del Hamilton Spectator. Will parece tener la respuesta y la oportunidad de ayudar a su padre con la entrada de una casa. Al mismo tiempo, puede enseñarle un par de cosas al matón adinerado de su clase y quizás impresionar a otros compañeros, como Rebecca y Ginny. El único problema es que es un inútil cazando moscas. ¿Podrá usar la cabeza en lugar de las manos, como sugiere su padre? ¿O nunca se vengará?

About the Book

In the year 1912 cities around the world waged war against the fly in a desperate attempt to control disease. In England, twelve-year-old William Alton lost his mother to the white plague and his sister to summer complaint. When Will and his father emigrate to Canada for better opportunities, he also looks for answers. Why does everyone he know have to get sick and die?

On Will's second day in his new school,Central Public, the health officer announces The Hamilton Spectator's fly killing competition. Will seems to have his answer and an opportunity to help his father with the downpayment on a home. At the same time he can teach the wealthy bully in his class a thing or two and perhaps impress other classmates including Rebecca and Ginny. The only trouble is he's useless at catching flies. Can he use his head instead of his hands, the way his father suggests? Or will he never get his revenge?
