"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 in the midst of a battle that will change Settler's Landing - and their lives - forever."
Review:
This book was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. However, that's not saying much. First and foremost, it's hard for me to read in the male point of view, simply because I'm not one. But the romance between Stephen and Jenny made the story a bit more bearable. The story overall was extremely depressing with so many deaths. However, I'm also not a huge fan of "end of the world" kind of books. So if that's something you're interested in, go ahead and try it out!!!
