Enemy at the Gate by Philippa Werry

3.0

I used to get this book out of the library all the time as a kid so reading it was good nostalgic vibes although it was very interesting to read about the polio epidemic in NZ and the contrast to covid now. With schools being shut down (they had to do school lessons in the newspapers) and quarantines and isolation etc, because the last time I read this book was well before 2020 it they all very foreign concepts.

It could be good for yr 9s looking to compare books about that experience and our experience now.
