Books like The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch
In the wake of a war that has left America shattered and two‑thirds of its population dead from a rampant influenza strain, 15‑year‑old Stephen Quinn survives along with his family. They roam the continent as salvagers, trading scavenged goods for food and essentials. The death of Stephen’s grandfather and his father’s sudden coma thrust the family into deeper uncertainty. Stranded, Stephen and his siblings arrive at Settler’s Landing, a community that appears to offer stability and normalcy—real houses, a school, a baseball field, and even barbecues. Stephen befriends the spirited and defiant Jenny, who resists conformity. Their playful prank escalates into chaos, plunging Settler’s Landing into a battle that will reshape the town forever.
