When Alex’s parents disappear in the aftermath of tidal waves, he must care for his two younger sisters, even as Manhattan becomes a deadly wasteland, and food and aid dwindle. Now this harrowing companion novel examines the same events as they unfold in New York City, revealed through the eyes of seventeen-year-old Puerto Rican Alex Morales. Susan Beth Pfeffer’s Life as We Knew It enthralled and devastated readers with its brutal but hopeful look at an apocalyptic event–an asteroid hitting the moon, setting off a tailspin of horrific climate changes. Why did I read this book: I loved the first book so much that I immediately combed all my local bookstores for the dead and the gone. Book 3, This World We Live In will be a direct sequel to both companion books and is to be released in 2010. the dead and the gone is the companion novel to book 1 of the trilogy, Life As We Knew It and details the same catastrophic events with different characters, from a different perspective. Stand alone or series: Book 2 of the ‘Moon Crush’ trilogy, but can be read as a stand alone novel.
