Zevin, Gabrielle All These Things I’ve Done 354 pages Farrar Straus Giroux, 2011. $16.99 Content: Language: PG-13 (14 swears, no “F”); Mature Content: PG-13; Violence: PG-13. Anya is the daughter of the former mob boss, living in a time where chocolate and coffee are illegal and water is rationed, e-mails charge postage and violence is rampant. She has an older brother who has learning disabilities and a younger sister who depends on Anya for everything. With a family situation where she is the unrecognized guardian she pulls a lot of weight for a teenager. While caring for her family, she has to deal with the extended family members who are part of the mob and she also falls in love with the DA’s son. I enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down. I thought it was a fresh take on dystopian society and the characters where engaging. HS-ESSENTIAL. Reveiwer, C. Peterson.
