How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff is about an invasion of England.Daisy moves from NYC to the English country to live with her cousins. Her father has gotten remarried and she does not get along with her stepmother.
After she gets to England, terrorist attacks start to happen all over the world. Soon England has now power. And when the electricity fails, most of the system fails.
I read this book because I enjoyed John Marsden's Tomorrow Series so much. But How I Live Now did not measure up well. It is told completely from the inside of Daisy's head. No actual dialog. No real depth.
All though this book won the Printz Award for Excellence, if you want a book about a fictional war, read the John Marsden series.
