A fairly interesting story about the terrible effects the earth and its inhabitants experience after a meteor strikes the moon. With the moon being throw off its regular orbit the earth suffers terrible consequences, which a brave 16 year old girl describes in her journal.

It came out of nowhere and just didn't ring true.… (mer)
I loved all of the "At Sixteen" books when I was younger, maybe 12 years old. They all kind of stuck with me and I re-read them later in my 20's. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

A set of dangerous diseases somehow traverses the Atlantic ocean without any human travel. The protagonist learns about the danger, does the teenager thing of saying that she'll be fine and disregards the new rules that are meant to keep her alive. I expect consequences for that kind of decision making.
Without repercussions for bad choices, a post-apocalyptic story can take on the air of text in a cereal box puzzle.… (mer)
