First Review!

Hi, readers!  This is going to be my very first book review.  The book I just finished was "Life As We Knew It" by Susan Beth Pfeffer.  It's the first in a trilogy of books.  This book tells the story of Miranda Evans through her diary entries.  Her entries tell us of an asteroid or comet hitting the moon, which knocks it closer to the Earth.  Catastrophic events soon begin, such as tsunamis.  As most of you know, the moon controls the tides.  When the moon gets knocked closer to Earth, its gravitational pull on the world's large bodies of water increases.  Giant tsumanis flood coastal cities like Boston and New York.  (Miranda lives inland, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.)  Then the earthquakes shake the Earth and volcanoes, even ones that have been dormant for thousands of years, begin to erupt, blocking out the sun.  More horrific events continue to happpen, altreing life as they knew it forever.
I won't ruin the ending for you because it really is a good book.  I thought the author included a lot of description and accurate information about what really would happen if the moon was pushed closer to the Earth.  (I'm not just a book nerd, I'm a space nerd and technology nerd too.)  I liked this book so much that I read the other two also.  They are, respectively, "The Dead and the Gone" and "This World We Live In".  The author used great detail and realistic language for a teenager like Miranda.  The book's genre is somewhere between science fiction and fantasy.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys apocalypse-type books, survival books, and books about daily life.  Don't forget to choose a label!
