The report is that an asteroid will hit the moon, making a nice view for sky-watchers. But when the rock hits, it is far larger than expected, and blasts the moon much closer to earth. Things go horribly, drastically wrong. The tides are disrupted, causing tsunamis; the change in pressure causes long-dormant volcanoes to erupt, blocking out the sun. Miranda and her family struggle to survive and find what can save them: hope.
Very good. A great pulling of a horrible, fantastical-yet-possible occurrence and real people. It was so sad. Very few books make me close to crying and thinking so hard like this: what would I do if that happened? Would I be able to give up so much? Would I keep hope and faith in face of death? The questions you don't think about often, and try not to when you do. Good questions. Read this book.
If I'm not mistaken, pfeffer means 'spices'. Susan Spice. :)
Happy Leap Day!
