The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch
September 1st, 2011 by Scholastic Books
Fifteen-year-old Stephen is a scavenger with his father after The Collapse. America is left in shambles and pickings are slim. After a terrible accident and a string of good luck (which isn't recognized right away), the two find themselves in a small village that has survived The Collapse. He has to learn to be social, be a part of a community, and learn to trust. Not everyone is worth trusting, but he finds friendship in the unlikeliest of places. When the secluded village is threatened, Stephen must decide where he fits in and what is worth fighting for.
Could not love Stephen even more! His voice and devotion to his father was the best part of the book. I'm not gonna lie, the cover and title led me to believe there would be zombies and vast descriptions of people dying and the world crumbling. My disappointment was short-lived after I met Stephen. I didn't need no stinkin' zombies! I has content with watching him break out of his shell, learn to trust, and be the hero I wanted him to be. Strong plot driven read with diverse characters. Fantastic book!
