Summary
When Miranda first hears the warnings that a meteor is headed on a collision path with the moon, they just sound like an excuse for extra homework assignments. But her disbelief turns to fear in a split second as the entire world witnesses a lunar impact that knocks the moon closer in orbit, catastrophically altering the earth’s climate.

Everything else in Miranda’s life fades away as supermarkets run out of food, gas goes up to more than ten dollars a gallon, and school is closed indefinitely. But what Miranda and her family don’t realize is that the worst is yet to come.

Told in Miranda’s diary entries, this is a heart-pounding account of her struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all–hope–in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar time.

So good, So, so good, but it felt super grim and as though no-one would live, especially in the later half of the reading it was hard to get through. I would not recommend for people who prefer happier stories over sadder ones.

I love this website. I use it for reading novels in my classroom. The narrator of this book is fantastic. She is engaging and realistic enough to the protagonist of the story to make it seem like you hear Miranda herself, speaking. The book itself has a good plot line, but does tend to drag on in parts. The author uses a lot of " I said" , "matt said" etc. And gets very repetitive. She definitely needed to vary her use of "said" a lot more. I definitely recommend this recording- it is very well done.

Read this book so I could keep up with my students' novel study. I thought I'd "force" myself to read it and ended up longing for the next time I could listen! Great story and highly recommend!
