The Exiles by Hilary McKay Makes me wonder if Ms. McKay made a bet with her children, something on the order of "you can too live without books," and she wrote this book as an I told you so.
It's sweet and funny and very suitable for the kid audience who don't have their heads full of superheroes and smash-em-up video games. I didn't fall in love with it like I did the Caisson family series, Saffy's Angel and etc. Those kids were so different you could tell who was speaking just by the words and tone--these kids sort of blend together and don't jump out as individuals. Listening to the audiobook might have helped with that--maybe I'm a lazy reader.
