Life As We Knew It

Life As We Knew It is by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The first book in The Last Survivors series. An asteroid has knocked the moon out of orbit and moved it closer to the earth. This causes massive tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Miranda and her family live in a small Pennsylvania town. This story is told in the format of Miranda's journal and tells the story of one family's fight for survival as "life as we know it" comes to an abrupt end. An exciting, endearing, and sometimes depressing tale.

Ratings: 9th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity).
