The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch

Summary: In an America devastated by war and plague, the only way to survive is to keep moving. In the aftermath of a war, America's landscape has been ravaged  and two-thirds of the population are 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. 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 to be too good to be true. Then Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievious Jenny, who refuses to accept things the way that 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.

 The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
The novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of sharecroppers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in financial and agricultural industries. Due to their nearly hopeless situation the Joads set out for California. Along with thousands of other "Okies", they sought jobs, land, dignity and a future.
The Grapes of Wrath is frequently read in high school  and college.
