AGE OF MIRACLES (KAREN THOMPSON WALKER) (PB)

One morning, Julia and her parents wake up in their suburban home in California to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth is noticeably slowing. The enormity of this is almost beyond comprehension. And yet, even if the world is, in fact, coming to an end, as some assert, day-to-day life must go on. Eleven year-old Julia witnesses the impact of this phenomenon on the world, on the community, on her family and on herself.
