OLDER FICTION
(2) YA Ruby Morris heard about the asteroid that almost collided with Earth--"honestly, it was boring"--but years later, dust from that boring asteroid infects water molecules with an alien virus that kills humans on contact. Alone and thirsty, Ruby holds tightly to the unlikely hope that her father is still alive. Ruby's diary-style narration lends some dark comedy to the post-apocalyptic doom and gloom.
