Another good read - with more to come!


Marcie suggested this to me - a student in one of her classes was reading it and recommended it, so she gave it a look see - and liked what she saw. It is young adult science fiction, and it has won some prizes. It was a good read - there were some weak spots in the plot, but by and large, you were drawn into the story - it was tough to put down.

The basic premise is that the moon has been hit by a large asteroid that bumps it slightly off its axis - and so the gravitational pull is all out of whack - tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes - and young Miranda and her broken family need to figure out how to survive in a world gone crazy.

And there are 2 sequels - apparently it was written as a trilogy.

I think a nice trilogy is just right - not too many, like a series that goes bad after the 3rd or 4th book. But just enough to keep you going for awhile.

It worked for me!!
