5/28/2023 0 Comments Life as we knew it book 2When an asteroid hits the moon and knocks it significantly closer to the Earth, things suddenly start to change. This got me thinking – what if we talked about the real end of the world? Feedback from students showed that they wanted a book that was scary, thrilling, and left them seriously spooked. If you’re looking to go end-of-the-world scary in young adult fiction, there’s only one real choice – the books from Susan Beth Pfeffer’s mega-popular The Last Survivor series. One thing I remember from my teen years is that everything felt like the end of the world. And you’re left with the impossible task of finding a book so good, 7th and 8th graders will take a break from their busy lives to sit down and read. Take that, add a few years, lots of growing up, and about 2x the homework. Do you remember my lamenting about finding a book exciting and engaging enough to hook a big group of 5th and 6th graders? Okay.
