Preffer, Susan. The Shade of the Moon. New York, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing.

This story is in the science fiction genre. It is the fourth book in the series and so far the last one.(Spoilers) It's four years after a meteor crashed into the moon, sending it closer to Earth which causes several catastrophes. Tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes become something in the norm. In this book, the main character is Jon. He lives in a safe place called an enclave where he gets food and all other types of necessities. He isn't able to live with his family because they couldn't get in. The book is mostly about the struggles he goes through trying to see his family while also being accepted by the enclave community. The book is really good, and all the characters in the series are easy to connect to, being the same age as most of us. Try picturing yourself in this world they live in,would you do the same things they would be doing? If you want to read this series the first book is called "Life As We Knew It".

This book sounds very interesting. In a way it reminds me of the book "Lord of the Flies." In both stories they have to try to survive, so they can get back to their families. I wonder what Jon has to do in order to survive. I think I might pick this book up!
