I was in the mood for a good THE SKY IS FALLING book and so I picked this one up not expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised. It’s about what happens to the world when a meteor hits the moon and knocks it a little closer to earth. What that does to the tides (huge tsunamis) and causes volcanos to erupt and well, ya, it’s not a good scenario. The book is written in journal form, which normally annoys me, but this time I thought it really added to the story.
The story is actually a duet and continues with The World We Live In which I felt really tied up some loose ends and ended this girls story pretty well.
I recommend.
