It's been a year since a meteor collided with the moon, catastrophically altering the earth's climate. Miranda and her two brothers spend their days scavenging for food and household items, while their mother stays at home and desperately tries to hold on to the ordinary activities of their previous life. But they all know that nothing is truly normal in this surreal new world they live in.

The struggle to survive intensifies when Miranda's father and stepmother arrive with a baby and three strangers in tow.

Then a devastating tornado hits the town of Howell, and Miranda makes a decision that will change their lives forever.

Editorial Reviews

JULY 2010 - AudioFile

The third book in the Last Survivors series finds narrator Emily Bauer moderating the cheery tone she used in the first book when the world first suffered the effects of the moon being struck by a meteor. It’s a year later, and no miraculous intervention has taken place. Bauer beautifully navigates the despair teenager Miranda feels, giving us glimpses of the bright, enthusiastic girl who once won skating trophies and contrasting her with the newly mature young woman who has seen sickness, starvation, and death. When characters from the second book enter the story, Bauer especially shines as Miranda falls headlong into love in a world that offers her so little else. D.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
