Seventeen-year-old Cardinal has escaped the virus that ravaged his town, leaving its victims alive but without their memories. Choosing to remain in the quarantined zone, he cares 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 best-selling author, Black River Falls is an unforgettable story about survival, identity, and family.

Happy and sad. Helps us see what children can do when others are not around to confuse or betray. Left to their own devices, they can make good decisions

Great Story

My 15 year-old son asked me to download this story for our daily drives to and from school which is about 30 minutes one-way from our home. Along with my 13 year-old son, my boys and I were captivated nearly from the beginning, often ending our commute with "a driveway moment," where we waited in the car for "just a few more minutes," to enjoy just a bit more of Hirsch's enthralling tale of love, loss, forgiveness, and the bittersweet celebration of memory.

wow!

Really enjoyed the story, but I've never been a fan of this narrator. it took a while to get past the voice, but once I did I was hooked on the tale. Wish there was a sequel or a prequel.

Interesting and inventive story.

This book really made me think about how our memories shape who we are. That classic argument of Nature vs. Nurture. And is it easier to remember or forget? Who is better off? Those who don't remember who they are? Or those who still remember everything?

It's not easy to forget...

Very captivating story & great narration. I’ll admit I got very emotional at the end... not a spoiler 😀

Loved it!
