What would happen to life on Earth if the moon were pushed closer to the earth? This is Miranda's story about what happens to her life. It's very much a post-apocalyptic tale, and more than a little disturbing.
Positive:
- great scenarios of implications for the moon moving closer to Earth and the natural results (tides, earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanic action, volcanic ash in the atmosphere)
- interesting descriptions of what might happen to people and the environment (food, plants, flu, looting, no power, etc.)
Concerns/Be Aware of:
- language
- portrayal of Protestants via the character of Megan are all negative and spread throughout the entire book
- Miranda's relationship with Dan and her mom's response
- Samantha taking off with a 40-year-old man
- Megan's mom commits suicide by hanging
- Miranda mentions she "could kill myself" and other related comments
- portrayal of the President as an idiot in at least three instances at various places in the book
Mrs. Beckwith's rating: 3 of 5
