About this item

Seventeen-year-old Cardinal has escaped the virus that ravaged his town, leaving its victims alive but without their memories. He chooses to remain in the quarantined zone, caring for a group of orphaned kids in a mountain camp with the help of the former brutal school bully, now transformed by the virus into his best friend. But then a strong-willed and mysterious young woman appears, and the closed-off world Cardinal has created begins to crumble. A thrilling, fast-paced work of speculative fiction for teens, from a bestselling author, Black River Falls is an unforgettable story about survival, identity, and family.



About the Author

Jeff Hirsch

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. Here's a little about me:

I'm originally from Richmond, VA but now live in Astoria, NY with my wife who blogs and writes books about sewing and our two cats who don't contribute anywhere near as much to society.

I went to undergrad in North Carolina (studied acting) and then headed out to San Diego and got an MFA in dramatic writing.

I know how to escape from a strait jacket while suspended from the ceiling by my ankles.

If I ever have a dog I think I'd like to name him Jerry Lee Lewis.

I'm torn as to whether the coolest living human is A) Tom Waits or B) Prince.

The Eleventh Plague is my first book. Well, the first book that was ever published. There was this one about a teenage rockstar and her drag queen fairy godmother, but honestly, the less said about that one the better.
