August's book choice

Hi, everyone. Thanks for your posts so far, which have been great. More feedback later, but for now here's August's book suggestion. It's How I Live Now (click for link to Amazon) by Meg Rosoff, which has just come out in paperback and I read a review of recently.

It likened it to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time which was one of my favourite books ever (do read it if you haven't already!) and it was beautifully-written when I checked it in a bookshop. It's also short and easy to read, so it seemed good as a bending-and-stretching exercise for us to start with :-)
