- W4240942019 abstract "Reviewed by: It’s the End of the World as I Know It by Matthew Landis Deborah Stevenson, Editor Landis, Matthew It’s the End of the World as I Know It. Dial, 2019 [320p] Trade ed. ISBN 978-0-735-22801-6 $16.99 E-book ed. ISBN 978-0-735-22803-0 $9.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 5-8 Derrick, known as Dee, has been prepping a survival room and polishing his plans to keep himself safe from the civilization-ruining mega-volcano he’s been warned about on a doomsday site. Now September 21, the portended day of the disaster, is drawing near, but things aren’t going smoothly for the eighth-grader: his [End Page 23] neighbor, Misty, ropes him into adventures and wants in on his plans, his friends are getting frustrated with his self-absorption, and he’s getting distracted, to put it mildly, by signs that his widowed father is dating. Landis effectively conveys Dee’s rising stress (sections are headed with the number of “days before the end”) while also sympathetically revealing his obsession as part of the devastating effect of his mother’s death in Iraq. His relationship with Misty, who after a kidney transplant is as determined to court experiences as Dee is to flee from them, adds a dimension that’s lively but also more deeply relevant to Dee than his narration admits; his kind but perplexed goofball guy friends (including one proud owner of a live-mice-eating snake) are endearing and plausible as they attempt to support their friend but only see him getting worse. The ending is a bit convenient, but Dee’s grief and anxiety will speak to many kids, and they’ll sympathize with his misdirected efforts.
