This engaging narrative nonfiction book introduces young readers to the frightening world of fleas and the dangerous diseases they can transmit. 

It begins with the true story of John and Lucinda Tull, a married couple who became gravely ill while visiting New York City in 2002 and were eventually diagnosed with bubonic plague, a rare disease spread by infected fleas. Through their dramatic experience, readers discover how fleas live, feed, and transmit illnesses between animals and humans. 

The book combines an attention-grabbing real-life survival story with accessible information about parasitic insects, disease transmission, and public health, helping young readers understand why such tiny creatures can pose a surprisingly serious threat.
