This book is shown from the point of view of Alex Morales, and seventeen year old boy living in New York City. After a meteor hits the moon, moving it closer to earth, chaos strikes. Millions die, including his parents, leaving Alez to look after his two younger sisters. This book is very realistic, though she does hit some unnecssesarily gruesome points. It is well-written, and she uses her adjectives nicely. Fast-paced, and interesting, you are sure to be on the edge of your seat reading this, until you reach the anti-climatic, loose-ends ending.
