The dead & the gone, by Susan Beth Pfeffer (Harcourt, 2008)

When the Moon is dislodged from its orbit by an asteroid, it causes a dramatic climatic change on Earth, resulting in upheaval and chaos. In a slowly-dying New York City, Alex Morales must look after his siblings as they struggle to survive while society collapses around them. He’ll need a heavy dose of cunning, determination, faith and a touch of ruthlessness in order to keep his family alive and intact. Like its companion, Life As We Knew It, this is a stunning, eerie tale of survival in an all-too-believable apocalyptic scenario, sure to make you wonder what you’d do in similar circumstances.
