Book Review: nail biter
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is set in Pennsylvania and is written in the style of a teenager's diary. It begins with the typical dramas that fill every teenager's life but then news comes that an asteroid is heading for a collision with the moon.
When it does hit, throwing the moon off kilter, the catastrophic effect on the Earth is frightening. Floods and volcanos devastate the Earth's population and Miranda's family realise they are facing a nightmare future. Miranda's diary tells the story of their fight for survival as they learn to live with diminishing supplies of power, heat, food and water.
It is a very well written book with strong characters and a story that keeps you reading right up to the end. Aimed at older children/young adults this really is an excellent read that many adults would also find unputdownable.
