Summer is over :-(
But now that school is back in session let's share some favorite summer reads. One I enjoyed over the summer ...
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
When a meteor is reported to collide with the moon, no one on Earth is terribly worried. But the collision is so powerful it actually moves the moon closer to Earth and causes unexpected catastophic effects such as tidal waves, volcanic eruptions and drastically altered temperatures . In Life As We Knew It, these events are cronicled through one family's struggle to survive the aftermath. The narrator, Miranda is just finishing her sophomore year at high school when life on Earth is so drastically altered. She documents the changes and her thoughts through her journal. Fuel and food shortages are an immediate concern of her mother but as weeks pass to months without conditions improving, the whole family (older and younger brothers) is becoming worried about their survival especially when disease and death strike close to home.
