Just finished Pfeffer's Life As We Knew It. Book Talked it to my Volunteens and they got excited.
Family with two teens in Penn when just before end of school term the moon gets hit with asteroid. When it hits it throws moon out of orbit and closer to earth. Just imagine all the natural disasters that begin to occur! Takes readers through almost an entire year as Earth undergoes all the changes. Very engrossing read.
I am now in process of reading Caroline Cooney's book Diamonds In the Shadow. In this story, a wealthy Conn.family of four hosts a family of refugees from war-torn Africa. The oldest son quickly realizes that something is going on with this family. To start with, he is pretty sure the couple aren't the parents of the two teens. What the host family doesn't know is that a fifth refugee came into the country on the same plane and this man has a violent agenda. The entire refugee family live in terror of this man showing up. You'll have to read to find out what happens.
