This is a companion novel to Life as We Knew It. I thoroughly enjoyed the first novel and was looking forward to the "sequel." I can, without a doubt, say that this novel
didn't let me down! Even though this book is marketed for teens, I couldn't help but be enthralled with the story line. Apocalyptic events in novels is a weakness for me (as you can see by my previous reading material).
didn't let me down! Even though this book is marketed for teens, I couldn't help but be enthralled with the story line. Apocalyptic events in novels is a weakness for me (as you can see by my previous reading material). Just like the companion novel, this story deals with the aftermath of a meteor striking the moon and moving it closer to the earth. This causes mass destruction dealing with flooding, volcanoes, earthquakes and more. The main character of this novel is a teenage boy who is left in charge of his two younger sisters when his mother and father disappear in the damage of the city. The book chronicles their struggles to stay alive and stay together. It is a wonderful story of survival and family and shouldn't be missed!

After I finished 'Life as We Knew it' I was hungry for more and looked up other books to see what else Pfeffer had written. How happy that there was a second and third novel! This one sounds so good. I think it will move up on my list.
Of course, LAWKI really did tramatize me into going through my food storage. Is it that bad in 'The Dead and the Gone'?
