the dead & the gone


With a title like the dead & the gone you'd almost expect to hear creaking of doors and wind whistling through an abandoned house, right? Well, you wouldn't be far wrong with this book. Imagine being the only one walking the streets of New York; imagine stealing clothes and jewelry from dead people to barter for food! Very creepy!! Susan Beth Pfeffer, the author of Life as We Knew It, one of the NTB books from last year, has written another disaster book about a meteor hitting the moon and the crises that follow. dead is set in New York City and the hero is a 17 year old Puerto Rican guy, Alex, who ends up having to take care of his two younger sisters, Bria and Julie. With the exception of flooding, tsunamis and earthquakes, the story line is much the same as her previous book.



I'm trying to decide which one I like best. What do you think?
