What We're Reading: Barbara


the dead & the gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer

If you had to steal food to survive, would you? What if you had to steal food in order to feed your little sisters, and their survival depends on yours? These are some of the tough decisions seventeen-year-old Alex Morales must make after an asteroid hits the moon, wreaking devastating climate changes on Earth. These changes have isolated their New York City neighborhood, making it difficult to get food and other dwindling supplies. Uncertain of what has befallen their parents and their older brother, Alex turns to their church for help and guidance.
