(4) YA World After... series. After a graphic novel–style prologue, this book takes a serious look at the potential environmental and societal impacts of a cataclysmic asteroid strike on Earth. The fairly dense presentation is supported by "Fact or Fiction" and "How Likely Is It?" boxes, relevant sidebars, charts, and captioned photographs. The tiny-size type and cramped page design may be off-putting to some readers. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
