I am working on a new story, but it will take some time to write. I may even give up, so I am going to need your support and ideas. I also am going to need a title. Here is the summary, or at least the main plot. Please give me a few opinions and suggestions for the title.
Nights are usually dark in the town of Mirage Pond, until one night, the sky is lit up with Police Sirens and Helicopter lights. The town's most wanted criminal, Will Jones, is on the lose. Meanwhile, Sandy is woken up from her dream by a loud thud coming from the orphanage living room. She investigates to find the escaped criminal. Poised with her hand on the phone, ready to dial the police, she whisper-shouts out, "who's there?"
Join Sandy and Will Jones on a quest to figure out their past. Will they uncover more secrets about themselves, or will the government lock them up before they get the chance?
How was it? I know it isn't the best, but I made it up on the spot. Leave a comment below!

Fever 1793, Book Review
Picture of the book:
Title:
Fever, 1793
Author:
Laurie Halse Anderson
Summary from back of the book:
Where’s Polly?” I asked as I dropped the bucket down the well. “Did you pass by the blacksmith’s?”
“I spoke with her mother, with Mistress Logan,” Mother answered softly, looking at her neat rows of carrots.
“And?” I waved a mosquito away from my face.
“It happened quickly. Polly sewed by candlelight after dinner. Her mother repeated that over and over, ‘she sewed by candlelight after dinner.’ And then she collapsed.”
I released the handle and the bucket splashed, a distant sound.
“Matilda, Polly’s dead.”
August 1793. Fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook is ambitious, adventurous, and sick to death of listening to her mother. Mattie has plans of her own. She wants to turn the Cook Coffeehouse into the finest business in Philadelphia, the capital of the new United States.
But the waterfront is abuzz with reports of disease. “Fever” spreads from the docks and creeps toward Mattie’s home, threatening everything she holds dear.
As the cemeteries fill with fever victims, fear turns to panic, and thousands flee the city. Then tragedy strikes the coffeehouse, and Mattie is trapped in a living nightmare. Suddenly, her struggle to build a better life must give way to something even more important – the fight to stay alive.
