What is the author's style in Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson?

The novel is presented in easily accessible language with modern construction and modern sentiment. Within this basic construction of meaning, the novel uses some anachronistic language and social customs to create a historic atmosphere and tone. The essentially modern tone of the novel does allow it to be understood by a wide range of readers but somewhat conveys the mistaken sentiment that Philadelphia, 1793, is culturally similar to Philadelphia, 1993.
