The moon has been pushed closer to the Earth by the impact, intensifying the tidal forces that the moon exerts on the earth. However, the asteroid was denser than expected by scientists, and immediately after impact, it becomes apparent that something is wrong. People are excited about the opportunity to witness the event, and on the night of the impact, Miranda and her family go outside to witness it. Soon, the news becomes focused on one subject: an asteroid predicted to hit the moon. Her biggest worries are her grades and her conflicted feelings about becoming a godmother to her soon-to-be-born half-sibling, who is expected by her father and his second wife Lisa. The book portrays 16-year-old Miranda, living a normal life in Pennsylvania with her mother, Laura, and her brothers Matt and Jonny. The lack of food and extreme cold provides major threats to their survival. When an asteroid hits the moon and brings it closer to Earth, life in Northeastern Pennsylvania will never be the same again for Miranda and her family. It is the first book in The Last Survivors series, followed by The Dead and the Gone. Life As We Knew It is a young adult science fiction novel by American author Susan Beth Pfeffer, first published in 2006 by Harcourt Books.
