YA
Fifteen-year-old David Case begins to become unglued when he contemplates the world's dangers. Hoping to evade Fate, he changes his name to Justin and completes his disguise with a thrift-store wardrobe. Though Rosoff's second novel does not exude the raw energy of her How I Live Now, it does offer an intelligent, uniquely embellished view of teen angst gone too far.
