Wow, what a book. Miranda is alone and has to take care of Jonny, Matt and her mother all by herself and when he mother tells her to seek help from Peter, the worst feeling just sinks into the readers mind. I asked myself: "Why did he die?" "How did he die?" "Will the family make it out alive?" over and over as I read this chapter. Fortunately, Miranda was able to make it back and tend to the family, she gave them asprin and food over and over. Once they were all better she decided to go down to the Post office to hear from her dad and Lisa which she hasn't heard from for a long time. At this point, Miranda knows that she wont make it out alive, so she leaves the skies that is very crucial for travelling in the harsh weather so that "Jonny can use them when we're all dead." I wonder what happened to Miranda's father, Lisa, and baby Rachael, I'll have to read further to find out I guess.
Last night i read alot and i was reading alot because the days is the book was matching the days that i was going threw. Yesterday it was the 18th and in the book it was the 18th and i read what they were doing way nothing compared to what i was doing. I was reading they were suffering and getting stuff from miss nesbits house. It would of been better if this was a true story that was written for years from now and i would be reading it and see how worried they were and what they thought was going to happen in the future.

This book is very intresting and extremely intense. From the moment the meteor hits the moon and people begin to panic, to the breathing second where the entire family is rushing to get food from a store, making constant trips back and forth, people fighting for gas, (I cant imagine the gas price to be anywhere close to that)
Living without eletricity and trying to survive when you know millions are dying each day just seems to be an everyday thing in this book. This book has a ton of detail and it makes each and every second worth while.
