Another oldie but goodie...

 

Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer (pub. 2006) 

 Yet another novel that I just started reading, but one that has grabbed me from the first page and refuses to let go. If the rest of the book is just as intense as the first twenty-five pages, than I would put this near the top of my favorite YA dystopian works. It's the first book in the Moon Crash/Last Survivors trilogy. 

Synopsis: "Through journal entries sixteen-year-old Miranda describes her family's struggle to survive after a meteor hits the moon, causing worldwide tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions."

An oldie, but goodie...

Gone by Michael Grant (pub. 2008)
I'm only about 20 pages into this book, and it rocks. It's the first of quite a few installments, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Synopsis: "In a small town on the coast of California, everyone over the age of fourteen suddenly disappears, setting up a battle between the remaining town residents and the students from a local private school, as well as those who have "The Power" and are able to perform supernatural feats and those who don't."
