LIFE AS WE KNEW IT by Susan Beth Pfeffer

The moon is going to be hit by a meteor. Big deal. But everyone in the country is talking about it. And every teacher in school is requiring the kids to watch it. So from the comfort of a lawn chair in the front yard, Miranda is doing just that. But no one is prepared for what happens. The meteor knocks the moon off course and sends it closer to the earth! At first it just seems kind of eerie but then the reality of what has happened hits Miranda and her family. The east coast is wiped out by tsunamis. There are earthquakes and volcanoes to deal with. And it comes down to a struggle for survival. This book is sure to keep you engrossed in their story. And to keep you thinking about the possibilities long after it ends.
