Young Adult
"Every war has turning points and every person too." Fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to
visit her aunt and cousins she's never met: three boys near
her age, and their little sister. Her aunt goes away on
business soon after Daisy arrives. The next day bombs go
off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy. As power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more
isolated. Despite the war, it's a kind of Eden, with no
adults in charge and no rules, a place where Daisy's
uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something rare and
extraordinary. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her
cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown
in the scariest, most elemental way.
