When the
Earth’s rotation begins to slow down and the lessons of gravity are proven true
on a daily basis Julia and her family will learn how to live in their rapidly
changing environment. As the days grow longer they will also have to learn how
to deal with their own family struggles during what could very well lead to the
end of the world.
The author
did a good job of putting herself into the fictional situation and putting a
story on paper that, although fictional, feels very real. I am not talking about the science (which
there’s not a lot of), but about the human reactions and the human
relationships. There were a few times
when I even described it to my husband and he agreed that there would be people
who would act like the fictional community.
Mostly this is a story about a young girl’s family and what she starts
to observe and understand about the people around her. I started recommending this one not long
after I started reading it.
