OLDER FICTION
Pfeffer, Susan Beth

The Dead and the Gone

(4) YA Pfeffer's stellar Life As We Knew It followed the increasingly bleak subsistence of a girl in suburban Pennsylvania after an asteroid knocked the moon out of orbit. This not-as-satisfying companion tracks the aftermath of the same disaster for too-good-to-be-true Alex and his sisters in post-asteroid New York City. In terms of characterization and plot, this book is less affecting than the first volume.
