Sorry everyone, but this one is going home with me first (actually I've nabbed the advanced readers copy) our library copy should be on its way soon. Till then this will have to be your appetizer.
Summary:
Sometimes the only way to survive is to keep moving.
America is a vast, desolate landscape left ravaged after a brutal war. Two-thirds of the population are dead from a vicious strain of influenza. People called the sickness the Eleventh Plague.
Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn was born after the war and only knows the life of a salvager. His family was among the few who survived and took to roaming the country in search of material to trade. 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. There Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny, who refuses to accept things as they are. When they play a prank that goes horribly wrong, chaos erupts, and they find themselves inthe midst of a battle that will change Settler's Landing and their lives - forever.
And Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins had this to say : "The Eleventh Plague hits disturbingly close to home... an excellent, taut debut novel."
Here's the book trailer.
