Like most fifteen-year-olds Miranda is preoccupied with school and her social life. So, when scientists start making a big deal about an asteroid about to collide with the Moon she pays little attention and is more annoyed than anything because the once in a lifetime event only means more homework, or so she thinks. However, the world drastically changes after the asteroid’s impact, because it knocks the Moon out of its orbit and closer to Earth. This event has catastrophic consequences, including tsunamis, earthquakes, widespread famine and disease epidemics. Miranda chronicles the events that follow the collision and her struggle for survival in journal format in this gripping novel.
