How I Live Now by Meg RosoffThere seems to be a theme to some of this summer's books--ones I heard about for years before I read. Huh.
How I Live Now fits that description, having received the Michael L. Printz Award for literary excellence in young adult literature in 2005. I finally picked it up this year specifically for the Book Slam and read it in one sitting on a long subway ride. There is something about the tone and feel of it that reminded me of The Hunger Games as well as historical novel I'd read (and loved) years ago about a couple who both experience the emotional devastation of war.
Again, a gutsy book for a teen audience.
