The Moon Crash Trilogy/The Last Survivors/Life As We Knew It Series — these are the various series titles attributed to Susan Beth Pfeffer’s stunning three book series about the teen-aged survivors of a world thrown into chaos when a meteor slams into the moon and knocks its orbit closer to the Earth.
Different sources report the series title differently. I personally like The Moon Crash Trilogy but the author uses The Last Survivors as her preferred designation. Because of that, I’ve adopted that series title for this post.
But I still like The Moon Crash Trilogy better.

Oh my! I love the sounds of the books. Looks like a very pretty fascinating science fiction and a lot of adventure. I think I never read any trilogy/series science fiction before. Thanks for highlighting this!
