Fifteen-year-old Daisy leaves her home in Manhattan to visit England's farm country--the home of her aunt and the four cousins she's never before met. Shortly after Daisy's arrival, her aunt goes off on a business trip, leaving her children and Daisy on the family farm. The next day, London is invaded and England finds itself suddenly at war. Without adult supervision, Daisy and her cousins must come together to survive the horrors of life during wartime. Winner of the 2005 Michael L. Printz Award.
