Life as We knew it, chosen by Dela is our book for April.
I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end,
McDonald’s still would be open.
High school sophomore Miranda’s disbelief turns to fear in a
split second when an asteroid knocks the moon closer to Earth, like "one
marble hits another." The result is catastrophic. How can her family
prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis are wiping out the coasts,
earthquakes are rocking the continents, and volcanic ash is blocking out the
sun? As August turns dark and wintery in northeastern Pennsylvania, Miranda,
her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of
their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the
warmth of a wood-burning stove.
Told in a year’s worth of journal entries, this
heart-pounding story chronicles Miranda’s struggle to hold on to the most
important resource of all—hope—in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar
world. An extraordinary series debut! Susan Beth Pfeffer has written three
companion novels to Life As We Knew It, including The Dead and the Gone, This
World We Live In, and The Shade of the Moon
