Meg Rosoff's debut novel takes fiction prize
How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff has won the prestigious Guardian Children's
Fiction Prize for 2004.
The book, in which a 15-year-old New Yorker recalls her summer in Britain on
the brink of war, saw off fierce competition from three other shortlisted
titles: Millions by Frank Cottrell Boyce; No Shame, No Fear by Anne Turnbull
and Last Train from Kummersdorf by Leslie Wilson.
How I Live Now was described as "Le Grand Meaulnes for this generation" by
judge Mark Haddon.
