When the asteroid first appears in the sky, however, the mood quickly changes to one of panic. Despite her older brother Matt’s misgivings about the event-which he had called home from college the night before to share-Miranda joins in the excitement with her mom Laura and younger brother Jonny. People in New York are having rooftop viewing parties, and even on Miranda’s rural Pennsylvania street, all the neighbors are out in an impromptu block party.
She first hears that a large asteroid is going to hit the moon from her mom’s boyfriend, Peter, but soon it’s all the newscasters talk about, and her teachers too-they use it as an excuse to assign moon-themed projects.ĭespite the extra schoolwork, the mood is festive on the night the asteroid is supposed to hit. In her journal, sixteen-year-old Miranda Evans is counting down until her sophomore year of high school ends and summer vacation begins, but in the meantime she has tests, fights with her mom, and friendship drama.
