This book is written in the form of journal entries by sixteen-year-old Miranda following the devasting effects of an asteroid hitting the moon and changing its orbit.It's a disaster worldwide as tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions wreck havoc everywhere. Food production is affected as is the distribution system as gasoline supplies fail.
What would happen if life as we have always known it to be, changed suddenly? School, heating in our home, transportation, recreation---just being able to eat at a restaurant or even have enough to eat at home? How would you survive? Could you keep your family together and safe until conditions improved? Would people "rise" to the occasion of extraordinary need and help their community or would they try to take advantage of weaker more vulnerable members? This book looks at these questions from the vantage point of Miranda, her two brothers and her mother. Will they be all right?
