In "The Scourge" by Jennifer A. Nielsen, we follow the story of a girl named Ani, who lives in a world plagued by a deadly disease known as the Scourge. When Ani contracts the illness, she is sent to a quarantined island where the sick are abandoned. Determined to survive, she teams up with other outcasts to uncover the truth about the Scourge and the dark secrets behind the government’s actions. As they navigate betrayal and fear, Ani discovers her own strength and the power of friendship in a race against time and uncertainty. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
