Escape to Orange Blossom | Chapter Thirteen

Yvonne Ventresca is the author of PANDEMIC (Sky Pony Press, 2014), a young adult novel about an emotionally traumatized teenager struggling to survive a deadly bird flu outbreak. School Library Journal calls PANDEMIC “an engrossing apocalyptic story” and Jim Cobb of Survival Weekly says that it “easily ranks in my top 25 favorite disaster novels.” Yvonne’s other writing credits include two nonfiction books for teens, AVRIL LAVIGNE (a biography of the singer) and PUBLISHING (about careers in the field). Yvonne lives with her family and dogs in New Jersey.
