Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer
Review by Lexi

A wonderful story that explains a person's point of view if the moon were to be knocked closer to the Earth.  The main character suffers through hardships in love, friends, family, warmth, and food.

Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer
Review by Miss Tammy

What would happen if a rogue asteroid knocked the moon a couple of miles closer to Earth?  According to this book, lots of stuff...and none of them good.  Tsunamis.  Volcanoes.  Earthquakes.  Life As We Knew It is written in the form of a journal kept by a girl that has to live through all these horrible things.  The author does such an amazing job of conveying the fear, pain, hunger, exhaustion, and general wretchedness of life after the moon incident that it had me wanting to stock pile canned goods in anticipation of a similar disaster.  Warning: you may not want to read this book if you are easily given to paranoia.
