3RD Indie Reading Book...Continued

I am reading Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney. Mitty realized that if he wants to stay in the class, he has do the his 10 pages of notes. Mitty couldn't go into librarys becaused he didn't live near the city. If he were in a city, he'd just cross the street and head down the block into a Barnes & Noble and go into the science and medicine section. He would copy some stuff and scribble enough sentences to keep Mr. Lynch happy. If Mitty was in New York, he would still be distracted by the winter. Mitty really wanted to stay in the advanced class with Olivia, but he had to do his 10 page notes. He didn't rush into it but he popped in a CD to get him motivated. Mitty's mother bought some books of some dead english authors/doctors. Mitty empty them out and started flipping through pages until he could find a disease. Mitty went down and went into her mother's book room. Acroos the room he spotted an interesting book called Principles of Contagious Disease, Conditions of Infectous Disease, Infectious Illness: Treatment and Containment and A History of Immunlogy. The books were thick and rusty. Mitty picked up the Principles of Contagious Disease. He opened the book and fillped through the book till he found one that was interesting. He felt like watching anything, even figure skateing, than reading a book. Then while he was flipping through the pages, he found an envelope. It was written Scabs- VM epidemic, 1902, Boston. It had pieces of scabs in the envelope. VM meant Variola Major and it was a virus. Mitty decided to do the notes on VM. VM has one task, to take over cells of other creatures.
