New York Times bestseller! A heart-stopping post-apocalyptic
thriller that's "absorbing from first to last page."* When a meteor
knocks the moon closer to earth, Miranda, a high school sophomore,
takes shelter with her family. Told in a year's worth of journal
entries, Life as We Knew It chronicles the human struggle to hold
on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly
desperate and unfamiliar world. As August turns dark and wintery in
northeastern Pennsylvania, Miranda, her two brothers, and their
mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom, where
they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth of
a wood-burning stove. I guess I always felt even if the world came
to an end, McDonald's still would be open. Like one marble hitting
another, when the moon slams closer to earth, the result is
catastrophic. Worldwide tsunamis wipe out the coasts, earthquakes
rock the continents, and volcanic ash blocks out the sun. Life as
We Know It is an extraordinary series debut. The companion novels
are: The Dead and the Gone, This World We Live In, and The Shade of
the Moon. (*Publishers Weekly, starred review)

For one young boy, a box full of nothing is a ticket to adventure
While skipping school, James sees his mother on the street. He
ducks inside an abandoned store, where an aged shopkeeper asks what
he wants to buy. When James says "nothing," the old man sells it to
him: a heavy cardboard box stuffed full of top-quality nothing.
James tries to explain this to his mother, but she doesn't believe
him and throws the box over the fence and into the dump. He sneaks
in to retrieve his new possession-and finds himself trapped in
another world. The dump is an eerie place populated by
hyperintelligent rats, monstrous seagulls, and a very clever pile
of garbage called the Burra. Once it was a thriving community, but
something strange has happened, and the dump has become stuck in
time. To get back home, James must help the Burra save the
dump-using all the nothing he can find.
