But one day, your aunt doesn't come home. She's stranded and terrorists have invaded your country. Soldiers take over your home and it's up to you to fight for your survival.
Scary picture, right? This is the predicament in which that 15-year-old Daisy finds herself in Meg Rosoff's novel How I Live Now. Everything she has ever known is shattered, and she is left to fend for herself in a world vibrating with the painful effects of war.
I found an interesting video online that offers a movie trailer sort of introduction to the book. Check it out here.
If you've read the book, what do you think about the world that's presented? Could it ever happen to us? How did you feel when you read it?
