Book Talk: Is this the end of life as we know it? What was supposed to be just
another asteroid hitting the moon becomes a nightmare for Miranda and the rest
of Earth as the asteroid knocks the moon closer to Earth. As natural disasters began to occur regularly
around the world, Miranda and her family prepare for the worst as schools begin
to close, stores run out of food and volcanic eruptions spew grey ash clouds
that block the sun and its warmth. Will Miranda and her family be able to
survive the apocalyptic conditions caused by the Moon or will it become impossible
to continue living on Earth? Surely this is the end of Life as We Knew It.
