Stores didn’t have any food because everyone loaded up because they knew the worst had yet to come. They had to start doing everything the old fashioned way. The weather gets so bad that schools were still open but not many kids attended. Miranda and her family had to survive on their own. People lost electricity and couldn’t call their loved ones to she if they were all right.

There were changes in the weather and more people started to die each day. The people didn’t consider how the closeness of the moon would affect things such as water currents, which eventually lead to flooding. At first everyone thought it was the coolest thing that could ever happen, but when the meteoroid hit the moon, it brought the moon closer to the earth. One night on the news they say a meteoroid was going to hit the moon. Her parents are divorced, and her dad is married to a woman named Lisa. Matt is the oldest and Jon is the youngest and a mom and dad. She mainly writes about what’s going on in her life and her family. I thought the book was depressing but also suspenseful.Ī girl named Miranda writes Life as We Knew It in diary form. It gives you an idea on what the victims of Hurricane Katrina had to go through. I look forward to hearing his thoughts about the characters, and the choices that they make.The book Life as We Knew It, by Susan Pfeffer copyright 2006, is a book that can make you cry, because it illustrates the difficult times that some people go through. I have no doubt my avid Christian reader will finish this book in one day long sitting. We do not fear reading materials that make us question someone's devotion to God. I see this summer reading assignment as a great opportunity to approach important subjects with my son when he gets back from Christian church camp next week.yes, we are religious. The book makes us think about what is really important in life. I agree this book covers a terrifying subject, but the message in the book is strong. It is a book that a kid would want to read for entertainment. My aggravation disappeared when I read the book. Haven't we worked our overachievers enough this school year? I wasn't too happy when I learned that my soon to be sixth grader has a summer reading assignment for his pre-AP English class next year.
