About this listen

 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.

Yeah, it should definitely go with warning. Starving children, not something my parents' brains can handle. I have a strong urge to become prepper. Start hoarding toilet paper, batteries, purchase alternator, and sun panels.
It was all described in the lightest way possible but still made me tear up. I am glad I made it through, it was valuable read, but I won't continue the series.

This book is absorbing and very thought provoking. I am listening avidly but will not let my ten year old hear it yet. I think young adult is definitely the category here. The book is well written and the narration is excellent.

Thought provoking and not a littte scary
