Hirsch, Jeff. The Eleventh Plague. New York: Scholastic press, 2011. Print.
The conflict in this story is an external conflict and is that so far the 11p disease is spreading fast and is destroying the United States but there are little groups of survivors. Then there is the people who capture and sell people to the wealthy people who are alive. So the main character Steve goes around with his dad and struggles to survive so they scavenge all the stuff they can find. Eventually they run into other people and live with them but in the end they get kicked out of the village and his father ends up in a comma. Towards the end the conflict gets greater and stakes get higher.” The black man’s dreadlocks were longer than the last time I’d seen him… not mercenaries slavers ” (Hirsch 216).

I think this book is interesting and if I was Abraham Lincoln I would do the same to the Vampires. I feel bad for Abraham's father's death. They shouldn't of killed him. But I understand why he is out for revenge. Picture you're father getting killed painfully by some blood sucking beast, what would you do.
