This 2008 Rebecca Caudill nominee reads through the diary entries of Miranda, a high school sophomore looking foward to the end of the school year. All anyone can talk about is the asteroid that's been predicted to hit the moon. Everyone is excited and can't wait to see it happen in the night sky. It turns out the asteroid is bigger than predicted and knocks the moon out of its orbit, sending it closer to earth and messing with life as we knew it. Tidal waves are out of control, volcanoes are erupting, and earthquakes are shattering lives apart. Miranda and her family must go into survival mode to make it out alive as millions are dying all around the world. This is a great survival story with strong family ties.
