How I Live Now
Danny Says
Grabbed a copy when I read praise on the cover from Mark Haddon (author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time). This is a MUST READ. One of the best young adult novels I have read in years, as it manages to cast a self-centered teen (redundant?) in dire circumstances (a 21st century World War), and the protagonist actually learns empathy – something more adolescents could use. Middle school students cannot stop talking about this one.
