This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer

Read a synopsis here! Number of pages: 239 Out of all three books in the series I think this one was my favorite! The ending was so...elegant. Sure, it was a bit of a cliffhanger but as far as cliffhangers go I really enjoyed it! (And that's saying something because I hate cliffhangers!!) So, in this book we're back to Miranda's point of view but eventually Alex and his sister Julie move in with Miranda's family (along with Miranda's father, her step mom, another man they picked up along the way, and Miranda's new born step baby...

The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer

Read a synopsis here! Number of pages: 308 Another impeccable book in the Last Survivors series. This book was written from a different point of view of a different kid in a different location.

Neither of Alex's parents are home when the disaster strikes and throughout the story Alex and his two sisters go through the turmoil of wondering whether or not they are dead. I felt that the three siblings...

However, a meteor crashes into the moon and causes horrible natural disasters. There are tsunami's, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Miranda's family plans for the worst before it happens and collects canned food and vitamins from...

Almost Famous by Zoey Dean

Read a synopsis here! Number of pages: 303 This book was just as good as the first one! There was still tons of name dropping which I loved! Almost Famous focused more on outside forces trying to divide the Inner Circle (IC) from the rest of the school instead of the girls fighting one and another. In the beginning, Mac has a sleepover with Emily, Coco, and Becks. The girls prank their nemesis over iChat and afterwards they forget to turn off the iChat, and their enemy finds out a bunch of secrets that the girls spill about themselves. Ruby,...
