Well, Miranda and her family did the first thing they thought of; go to the grocery store. They stocked up on everything they could think of. It's a good thing they did because all the grocery stores shut down a little while later. Eventually the power goes out, gass goes up to $10 a gallon, and suddenly the world seems to be shut down. They have to depend on the breeze to stay cool in the summer. Then winter comes and they have to depend on their wood stove to survive because it was so cold. Will they survive through the winter? To find out, read the book.

This book deals with science topics, such as tides, climates, and the moon.

I really like the main character in this book, Miranda. I can really relate to her. When I'm mad at a character, she is too. Sometimes she can be a daredevil and does things I know I don't have the guts to do.

Susan Pfeffer, the author, writes this book in a way that makes a lot of sense to me by using words that I can follow along to easily. It helps me understand the story muck more. Each chapter is action packed and ends making me want to continue reading! Susan writes this book in diary form

I would most definitely recommend this book to girls in 6th grade up who like survival and family. Boys //could// read this to but it is definitely geared towards girls. I really hope you try this book out, you'll like it!

This book also has a companion novel. (It isn't a sequel) It is about seventeen-year-old, Alex Morales's life in New York when the moon is hit by the meteor. Guys would be able to relate to this one much more.  There's a YouTube video on this book
