Thanks for the review. It is interesting to learn how the families living near a nuclear plant have to equip themselves in case of any emergency, like a meltdown or terrorist act. Unfortunately, I will give this book a miss, as I could not relate to the characters based on the sample pages I read.

Home Again 2020 is a historical fiction book ,but appealing in its freshness because it's dealing with current circumstances. Covid 19 is still with us. Lou's family is a prototype model of how families ought to adapt and survive it's effects.

The story sounds both fascinating and enlightening on matters concerning challenges we at times go through. I am delighted the Matters family do not treat Lou as a lesser being when the meltdown affects him. Thanks for the review.

This story reminds me of a family who went through difficulties during the lock down. Coming out strong from every predicament is what matters. The author gave out a comprehensive description of a family has gone through hard times but still strive to succeed. Great review.

This is a new perspective on historical fiction; I'm so used to reading of occurrences that happened way before I was born or the early years of my life, so it's interesting to see one depicting a current worldwide tribulation. I'd check it out, thanks for sharing.
