Life As We Knew It
There was excitement and a festive atmosphere in anticipation of the celestial light show the night the meteor was scheduled to hit the moon--until the impact knocks the moon to a closer orbit with the Earth. The effects from the closer orbit are not immediately apparent until the climate and tides begin to change, volcanoes begin to erupt, and supply chains for everything just stop. In Life As We Knew It, we follow the trials and tribulations of high school aged Miranda and her family through personal diary entries she keeps. Life becomes extremely difficult when medicine, fuel, and food run out and winter comes very early. Will the quick thinking of her mother save them? You'll have to read it to find out... and don't be discouraged by its "Young Adult" rating. This apocalyptic tale is for all adults.

I heard about this book a while ago from a friend who said it was pretty good. I'll have to check it out and read it after all. Thanks for the reminder!
This was given to my daughter to read by the librarian at the Perryville Branch..She enjoyed it so much, she read it in an afternoon. After reading it myself, we had several interesting conversations about, life, death and the end of the world. Good to read with your teen!
yes, this was a good find, good read. Thanks
My daughter (12 years old) and I listened to the audio book version of Life As We Knew It. We both really enjoyed it. This is one YA book that is not just for YAs!!
I love this author
Love the cover art!
