Movie Monday: How I Live Now

The Book:

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.

News on the Movie:

So, they've already started filming this movie, which is pretty exciting since most YA books just get bought and never made!  I haven't personally read this book but it's jsut the kind that I would like so it's definitly on my to-read list.  The movie is set to come out sometime next year and here are the major characters and who's playing them!

Daisy

Saoirse Ronan
 You might know her from Hanna, The Lovely Bones, or The City of Ember.

I'm not as familiar with the rest of the characters, but if you are, you might want to check out the IMDB page to see who's cast.  Enjoy!
