Life as we knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer16-year-old Miranda is really not happy about that meteor that's supposed to hit the moon. Her teachers pile on extra meteor assignments and everyone is excited to watch the meteor hit the moon, especially those astronomers on TV.
What nobody expected is the moon to be moved closer to the earth, and within hours earthquakes and volcanoes cause world-wide destruction. Miranda's whole life - and the lives of those around her - is thrown into chaos by the events that follow. Gas prices climb to $35 a gallon. There is no electricity. Deadly diseases spread. Bite your nails as Miranda and her family struggle to survive.
This book freaked me out. I almost went to the grocery store to stockpile nonperishables halfway through the book, except I couldn't put it down. The next few times in the grocery store I had to stop myself from loading a cart with cans of soup. Sure, sounds crazy, but read it and you'll understand.
5 stars out of 5 for Life as we knew it.
