In "The Great Trouble" by Deborah Hopkinson, set in London during the cholera outbreak of 1854, young Eel is an orphan living in the squalor of the city. He finds work as a mudlark, scavenging the Thames’ banks for valuable items. When friends begin to fall ill, Eel discovers the connection between the contaminated water and the spread of the disease. Determined to uncover the truth, he teams up with a doctor and a group of other determined individuals. Together, they fight against public ignorance and fear, hoping to save lives and make a difference in their troubled community. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
