=Life as we Knew itmedia type="custom" key="8002510" = =By, Susan Beth Pfeffer﻿ = Have you ever wondered what would happen if the moon was going to crash into the Earth? Well in this book you can read Miranda's diary telling about the whole situation when a meteor is heading towards the moon nobody is really worried, but when the meteor actually hits the moon it gets closer to the Earth and everyone goes crazy. Is the world really ending??

This is a science book because it tells what is different when the moon moves closer to the Earth. Like how the moon controls the tides, so in the book the tides go crazy and there are lots of tsunamis.

I love how this book is written. It is written in Miranda's diary so you can read more personal events and emotions that she has about things. I really like this style of writing because you always know what day it is and other things that happened when she wasn't with her family.

Characters: Miranda- Daring, outgoing, and caring. Miranda is the main character, she helps out her family, helps her brothers and isn't afraid to talk back and sneek out. She is a 16-year-old.

Lisa- Miranda's step-mother. Is pregnant through the whole book.

Dad- Miranda's dad. He is divorced with Miranda's mom. Lives in Los Vegas, California.

Mom- Miranda's mom. Dating a doctor named Peter. Miranda and her get into alot of fights during the book. She is very loving towards her family and surprisingly gets along well with Lisa.

Jonny- Miranda's little brother. He loves playing baseball and goes to a baseball camp during the book.

Matt- Miranda's older brother. He comes to stay with his family after the moon got hit. He is also very helpful.

Mrs. Nesbitt- Miranda's neighbor. She is over sixty and visits them often.

Takes place in Pennslvania. Mostly in Miranda's house.

The plot is that the moon gets hit by a meteor and gets pushed very close to the Earth. After, there are tsunamis and volcanoes erupt. The temperature goes down dramatically and many people start freezing and starving.

I would definitely recommened this book to a friend because I think this is a great book for teens to read. It has suspense and uses great words. When I was reading this I felt the same emotions that Miranda was feeling because the book uses show not tell.
