Rating: 3.5/5 stars
The premise of this book is that the middle school aged protagonist, Julia, find out that the days are getting longer. The book follows her and her family as they and the enviornment adjust. I felt that the real focus of the book is how to fit into the world (on a normal day), and now how Julia has to try and fit in while Earth is rapidly changing.
It also has a quote by one of my favorite people and poets, Jim Richardson!
It was a quick read--took me about two days--and it's not super challenging. I did enjoy Walker's use of a language. Recently, I've been paying more attention to how writers describe situations.
Now, I'm reading The World According to Garp by John Irving.
