A brilliant debut novel that created an international auction frenzy. On a seemingly ordinary Saturday morning, Julia and her family wake to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow. A great premise: the Earth's rotation slows, days stretch to 72 hours within months. Narrated by an appealing 11-year-old, Walker portrays the impact on people, society and ecosystems realistically, without sinking into a speculative sci-fi feel.
