Annotation:
16 year old Miranda tells the story of life on Earth after a Meteor hits the moon and moves the Earth out of it’s orbit and closer to the Earth.
Booktalk:
When you are a teenager, life can be tricky. How to fit in at school? What clothes to wear? Will I get my driver’s license this summer?
But for 16 year old Miranda, life is about to get trickier than ever. One May night, a meteor hits the moon. It’s an unusual hit, because the meteor is large, and it will be traveling a trajectory that will make the hit visible to the naked eye. As Miranda’s family stands outside to watch the hit on the moon, the unthinkable happens. The meteor hits the moon hard enough that the moon moves closer to the Earth. So close, that it looks as if it will crash into the moon.
The moon controls the tides, and the weather. And so many more things. The electricity goes out and never comes back on. The weather is odd. And then, the volcanoes start to erupt. Life becomes a battle for survival, but all Miranda wants is to get back to Life As We Knew It.
