I haven't read much apocalyptic young adult fiction lately, so this one stood out. Miranda and her friends are pretty excited about a meteor that is planned to hit the moon one night. The whole town is outside watching and waiting for the spectacle, just like a comet or falling stars. But things go terribly wrong. The meteor is bigger than what the scientists thought. The moon look like it's blowing up. And it's bigger. All of a sudden cell phones don't work. And thus begins (possibly) the end of the world. The moon pull changes the tides and cities on the coast throughout the world are hit with destroying tidal waves. Earthquakes hit and volcanoes erupt in areas where it's never happened before. Miranda and her family have to buckle down. Miranda's mother is smart and stockpiles food, supplies, and other things while the rest of the community is still in shock. They chop wood and collect water. And, throughout it all, Miranda is just a teenage girl who fights with her mother and gets mad at her brothers. And falls in love. But who will survive? Will her family? Her friends?
