DESCRIPTION:
But when Stephen’s grandfather dies and his father falls into a coma after an accident, Stephen finds his way to Settler’s Landing, a community that seems too good to be true. Jeff Hirsch's stunning debut is now in paperback!In the aftermath of a war, America’s landscape has been ravaged and two-thirds of the population left dead from a vicious strain of influenza. Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn and his family were among the few that survived and became salvagers, roaming the country in search of material to trade. Then Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny, who refuses to accept things as they are. And when they play a prank that goes horribly wrong, chaos erupts, and they find themselves in the midst of a battle that will change Settler’s Landing--and their lives--forever.
Praise for THE ELEVENTH PLAGUE"THE ELEVENTH PLAGUE hits disturbingly close to home, vividly depicting a world that has nose-dived into a futuristic nightmare. An excellent, taut debut novel." --Suzanne Collins, author of THE HUNGER GAMES" A gripping survival drama." --USA TODAY"Sure to be a hit among fans of dystopias." --BOOKLIST"An impressive story with strong characters." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Finished this in one sitting" according to Jennifer L. Rinehart. It was the front cover blurb from Suzanne Collins that caught my eye. I've read the Hunger Games three times and if Suzanne says this book is 'excellent' then it at least deserved a second look.I grabbed it along with a copy of Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep (which is super duper, btw) and found a place to sit down (which is a rare thing at Barnes and Noble nowadays) and started to read the first chapter.From the first page I was drawn in. I don't like to make comparisons to other books, it's hard to d. "Good book" according to Newhotness22. Should have been a series.. "Five Stars" according to April Williams. Good book
