Morris Gleitzman's acclaimed series, which began with *Once* and continued with *Then*, culminates in *Now*, a poignant and powerful story set in the present day. This final installment sees Felix as a respected grandfather, his once-haunting childhood memories resurfacing when his granddaughter, Zelda, comes to stay. Together, they navigate a cataclysmic event, armed with an unyielding spirit and profound love, ultimately finding a path to salvation from the past while confronting the specter of destruction. *Now* undeniably earns its place on any "Best Books by Morris Gleitzman" list and as a Kirkus Reviews' Best Children's Book of 2012 due to Gleitzman's masterful ability to weave together profound themes of trauma, resilience, and intergenerational connection. He handles incredibly sensitive topics with a delicate touch, balancing the darkness of Felix's past with the enduring light of love and hope. The novel's emotional depth, its exploration of how history shapes the present, and its ultimate message of courage and optimism make it a truly unforgettable and essential read for young audiences.
