This month I've chosen Under Fire-red Sky by Geraldine McCaughrean
Four hildn escp bin evacuated duding War II. This isn't one of McCaugherean's usual feel-good stories; it is much more or brutal. In every paragraph something bad happens. This gives a real sense of what it might be like living in a war zone. Perhaps a warning about the times we're in now.

Love and romance can be tough for a compulsive fibber
Archie has quite a reputation as a practised fibber. Normally his lies are
harmless but as time goes by they begin to get him into more and more trouble.
They lose him his girlfriend, and bizarrely, his hearing as his ears begin to
react in a very strange way every time he is less than truthful. Giving honest
opinions isn’t enough. Deep truth is called for. But finding that isn’t easy.
Some truths are very hard to face. Then numbers become interesting, too.
Fibbin’ Archie, is, however, more than the story of a disenchanted young man.
It is also a writing experiment based on a fascinating number series
(Fibonacci!) It is a piece of experimental writing, a humorous story of love
and sex, an examination of social issues affecting young adults and a story of
coming of age.
