Imagine having no electricity and barely any food. That's exactly what happened to Miranda and her family. The book interesting book I read, Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer tells about Miranda and her family's journey. Life As We Knew It talks about what would happen if meteor were to knock the moon more into orbit. Susan Pheffer writes this book as Miranda's diary. It is interesting to get to know was Miranda is thinking the entire book, unlike other books were it just says the characters are sad. The main character was Miranda. I really liked Miranda because she was really is relateable to me. We have the same personality. Her younger brother, Jonny was a very grown up for his age. He was able to understand the bad time really well. Miranda's older brother was really intelligent. He was very good at planing what to do. Her parents are divorced, so her dad doesn't live with them. Her mom was a really good mom. She gave up alot for her childern's well being. Life As We Knew It mostly takes place at Miranda's house. It is a lot like other houses. It has a kitchen, bedrooms, family room, sun room, and laundry room. This setting was really easy to picture in my head. Miranda and her family lose a lot after the moon incident. Many stores close, prices rise, people fight over food, and many people die. Miranda's family does ok during this time. They have to cut back on eating. It is a treat to get to eat twice a day. Also they lose electricity and rarel get it back. If they do get it back it is only for about ten mintues. When winter comes, things get rough. I am not gonna say if things get better. It will give away the ending. I really can't conncect to this book because I don't know what it is like not to have food. Personally, this wasn't one of my favorite books but, I would recommend it. I think people would like to know what the end of the world would look like. Life As We Knew It was an ok book.
