Slacks for Ella Funt

In this book, an asteroid hits the moon and knocks it off orbit, causing floods, volcanos, and other catastrophes all over Earth. At first, everyone thinks that things will go back to normal soon, but as food, heating oil, and electricity run out, people only hope to survive. Fifteen-year-old Miranda and her family survive a long, freezing winter in near starvation as their stockpile of food diminishes. It reminded me a bit of Hatchet, and the diary format was obviously Anne Frank inspired. This one really sucked me in given that now, unfortunately, disasters that take out whole cities and regions don’t seem as far-fetched as they used to.
