Description

Leslie Beth Pfeffer’s Life once We Knew It fascinated and ruined visitors using its raw but optimistic examine an apocalyptic event--an asteroid hitting the moon, leaving a tailspin of terrible environment adjustments. Today this traumatic friend book investigates exactly the same occasions as they unfold in Nyc, exposed through the eyes of seventeen-year-old Puerto Rican Alex Morales. When Alex's parents vanish in the aftermath of tidal waves, he should take care of his two younger siblings, even while Ny becomes a lethal wilderness, and food and help dwindle.     With haunting themes of family, religion, individual change, and bravery, this strong book examines what sort of child assumes unthinkable duties.
