I have mixed emotions about this book. I loved it and at the same time hated it. Part of me thought it was a beautiful coming of age story in the face of great adversity. While the other half of me thought it was a brutal and terrifying account of how humans adapt when facing a survive or die situation. This book to me was such an important read but yet I'd rather forget I ever picked it up.
Miranda is a 15 year old girl starting her sophomore year of High school. Her parents are divorced, in fact her father is having another baby with his much younger new wife. Her best friends have become polar opposites of each other one has become a Jesus freak and the other has started experimenting with boys. Nothing to out of the ordinary in the life of a teenage girl. Oh, did I mention the meteor shower?
Scientist are predicting a meteor shower that will be visible for all to see.They say Earth is in no danger that the meteors are just going to fly by us nothing to be worried about. They were wrong. What do you do when everything you know as normal changes? How do you cope? How do you survive?
This is a wonderful and terrifying story about survival. This would be a great book for young adult readers. I myself would be hesitant to recommend it to anyone under the sixth grade.
