The Shade of The Moon is by Susan Beth Pfeffer, and is a fiction genre book.
This book is about the moon getting out of orbit due to an asteroid and causing apocalyptic events such as tornadoes, tsunamis, blizzards, and even erupting volcanoes. This then leads to Jon, the main character, having to live with his family in Sexton University. My favorite part of this book is the middle of the story. This is because it has so many details about what’s going on and a lot of interesting things happen.
The main character of this book is a very hardworking person. The quote that proves this says, “Jon had never been that close to death. The others had given their food to him. He’d been hungry, and he’d been tired from the endless labor of chopping firewood, but they’d see to it that he would survive” (Page 34). This quote means that Jon has been working hard and has earned food from doing so.
The reason I liked this book was because of how interesting it was and it was very different from the other books of the series. I would recommend this book to a friend because I think they would enjoy the suspense that builds up throughout the story. The theme of this book is to take what you have for granted because it might go away.
