Life as We Knew it is a book that kind of scared me in an intriguing way. It starts off with a normal teenager named Miranda. Her life is completely normal, and she likes to be somewhat invisible in school. Then, out of the blue, scientists claim that an asteroid is going to hit the moon. It shouldn't be a big deal, and Miranda doesn't treat it like one. The night that the asteroid drops is the night that changes everybody's lives. The asteroid hits the moon with so much force, the moon is knocked out of its place, changing the gravitational pull. Tsunami's, earthquakes, and volcanoes start all over the world, and Miranda's family thinks fast before they get caught in one. They go to the grocery store and buy carts of food, water, and gas, not knowing what they will need in the near future. The book tells the story of their survival skills, and Miranda's fierce devotion to keeping her family alive in this unknown lifestyle. I wouldn't say that everyone will enjoy Life as We Knew it, but people who like Sci-fi defnantly will.
