3Q 3P MJS
When Daisy is sent to live with family in England, she doesn't expect to be caught up in a war. And she certainly doesn't expect to have such a bond with her cousin Edmond. How I Live Now could be so much more than it is. The premise of a war complete with an occupation in the English countryside could have been used much better than it was. When action was expected, there was little. The premise of this novel leads one to expect more action, more fun, more chaos, just more. Despite having won the Printz Award this book does not meet the expectations put upon it. A slow moving story that may have worked better with a faster pace and a more fleshed out story.
