A Doctor Like Papa-Natalie Kinsey Warnock


This story is about the sickness that spread badly in the 1918's and 1919's. It spread everywhere that parents were losing their children and children were becoming orphans. If you are wondering what the sickness is called it is Influenza. The main character in the story is named Margaret. Margaret's papa is the only doctor in the kingdom so it was hard trying to help people when they were dying so much because you have to come before the person dies so it was hard work. Margarets family never got sick. I'll tell you my favorite part its very funny all start: Someone called Margarets father because her husband died of the sickness she thought that her boy got it. When they came in the room there were pieces of plums everywhere. The boy was saying: I'm dying I'm dying! But here is the funny part actualy he had a stomacheache from eating to much plums. When I read this I laughed so hard.
I liked this book because it was funny and had a happy ending.
