My ISU book is called "The Dead and the Gone" by Susan Pfeffer. My book is filled with death, sorrow and pain. Alex Morales is the main character. He is seventeen and attends a Catholic High School. He has plans of attending George Town but his whole world turns upside down. After work the moon is hit by an asteroid knocking closer to Earth causing floods, earthquakes and other catastrophes. With the loss of his parents Alex must learn to take care of his little sister become the man he needs to be to survive.
In my book a very common theme is Family and how important they can be. With their parents missing in a time of need Alex and his sisters must stay strong and look after each other. This family who wasn't all that close before, now stand side by side in trying to survive the apocalypse. Together they learn to treasure the little things they have such as food, water and shelter.They learned how to appreciate and to love each other. No one was ever left behind and no one decided to give up. They continued to believe and survive as one. Unfortunately, Alex's eldest sister does not make it through their final journey. Alex must now find a way out of New York city with his little sister and continue to survive in the name of their family.
