The Dead And The Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer
After a catastrophic shift in the Moon alters tides and climate, a teenage Puerto Rican from the Bronx, Alex Morales, keeps a journal of his desperate struggle to care for his younger siblings and survive as food, heat, medicine and basic services collapse; told in immediate first-person, the story traces the breakdown of urban order, the illness and loss that follow, and the moral and emotional choices Alex makes as he navigates shortages, danger, and the harsh realities of staying alive in a devastated city.
