![]() Her family lives in a small town in rural Pennsylvania. The first book, Life As We Knew It, is written in diary form by teen-aged Miranda. ![]() It’s all very cheerful as you can imagine. Enough closer that the tides are thrown completely off, the seasons change dramatically, and earthquakes, hurricanes, tidal waves, and volcanoes ravage many parts of the world. The very short synopsis is that the moon is hit by a very large asteroid and is knocked closer to the earth. ![]() This series would fall into that category, but it’s different because, unlike the three books I just mentioned, you see the recognizable world fall apart, rather than just the aftermath and rebuilt society. ![]() I have mentioned before that I really love dystopian books (ones like The Hunger Games or Uglies or The Giver where something has completely changed the face of the world (war, disease, etc) and an alternate kind of society has sprung up). ![]() And you won’t forget it either – the characters and the storyline are so real and so memorable, without being over the top. 8 of 10: This YA trilogy, Life As We Knew It, is about the world being significantly altered by an asteroid hitting the moon is a little bit like watching a train wreck it’s horrific, but you can’t look away. ![]()
