Black River Falls
by Jeff Hirsch
Publisher: Clarion Books
Publication Date: July 5, 2016
The book BLACK RIVER FALLS by Jeff Hirsch is, at its core, about the value of friends and
family. It's about a boy named Cardinal, who lives in a town that was
taken over by a virus, and quarantined. The virus leaves its victims
alive, but takes away all their memories. Cardinal has not been
caught by the virus, but chooses to stay to care for a group of
orphaned kids. The book was interesting to me because it made me
speculate on what could happen if everyone lost their memories, and
the effect that it could have on a society. I also liked the books
action-packed and fast paced mystery. The depth of the book was
enjoyable, with multiple side plots to keep the reader interested. I
would recommend the book to anyone who really likes being able to
critically analyze a fiction book, as there wasn't anything gory or
gruesome, just action.
