Miranda’s disbelief turns to fear in a split second when a meteor knocks the
moon closer to the earth. How should her family prepare for the future when
worldwide tsunamis wipe out the coasts, earthquakes rock the continents, and
volcanic ash blocks out the sun? As summer turns to Arctic winter, Miranda,
her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of
their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the
warmth of a wood-burning stove. Told in journal entries, this is the heart-pounding story of Miranda’s struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all hope in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world.
