'It is never what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophes are always different - unimagined unprepared for unknown...' What if our 24-hour day grew longer first in minutes then in hours until day becomes night and night becomes day? What effect would this slowing have on the world? On the birds in the sky the whales in the sea the astronauts in space and on an eleven-year-old girl grappling with emotional changes in her own life..? 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. Julia facing the loneliness and despair of an awkward adolescence witnesses the impact of this phenomenon on the world on the community on her family and on herself.
