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.©2006 Susan Beth Pfeffer; (P)2006 Random House Inc.

I couldn't get 5 minutes into the audiobook, and that bothers me because I loved reading the book. I can't get over how the narrator sounds like a fake Disney Channel character.
Looking to return this...

It's a good book, but not audiobook

Recommended dystopian fiction for the lessons contained within if nothing else. From the stance of "A damsel in distress" makes one root for the lead character.

A dystopian work of fiction w/a different flair.

The story was gripping, depressing, and at times a bit gory. I love the premise. However, I did not love that it was a pretty traditional family... in the sense of gender roles and expectations for women vs men. There was a comment about how "males were more likely to survive than females." Surviving in this situation requires quick thinking and strategy more than anything else. Those aren't gendered concepts. It lacked any kind of diversity in any aspect, so it was hard to connect to, and that turned me off. But overall, it was a good book. The characters were a little 2 dimensional, but I liked seeing how they survived each new situation.

Good story, but a little too traditional
