This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer

Pfeffer, Susan Beth This World We Live In, 239 p. Harcourt, 2010.  Content: G.  Almost a year has passed since the moon was knocked off course by the asteroid.  Everything is colder, Miranda and her family are still surviving – but just barely.  Then her brother comes home, married to a girl he just met and her dad comes back to town with his new wife, their baby and three other strangers – Julie, Alex and Charlie – people they met up with in one of the evacuation centers.  Now food is suddenly a much bigger problem, but that may be the least of their worries.  While Pfeffer has added more information to her riveting world, she has raised more questions than she has answered and I, for one, can only hope that there might be at least one more book forthcoming – I hope, I hope, I hope.  MS – ESSENTIAL.
