Black River Falls

"Hirsch is skilled at creating lost protagonists who need a jolt, and fans will appreciate this quiet, well-rendered look at a boy who's suffering more from being stuck in his own memories than the townsfolk who lost all of their own." --Bulletin "In this fast-paced novel, Hirsch (The Darkest Path) has created a terrifying reality that explores identity, memory, morality, and what it means to be a family." --Publishers Weekly "Hirsch allows the backstory to unfold slowly, salting clues as to Card's family and his former relationship with Greer. But he also interjects a sweet love story and tricky ethical and moral decisions throughout this thought-provoking novel of family and survival--and superhero comics." --Booklist "Both a gripping, suspenseful thriller and a poignant meditation on memory and attachment." --Eliot Schrefer, two-time National Book Award finalist and New York Times best-selling author of Endangered and Threatened "Who are you if you don't have your memories? With incredible characters and fascinating twists, Black River Falls is a powerful story you won't be able to forget." --Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times best-selling author of The Testing trilogy and Need "Jeff Hirsch's Black River Falls is fabulous! Fresh. Original. And dare I say memorable. I could not put it down!" --Roland Smith, New York Times best-selling author of Peak and The Edge "Smart and full of heart, this book is for readers who love pondering the big mysteries, even in the darkest of places." --Martha Brockenbrough, author of The Game of Love and Death --
