The Age of Miracles is a fiction debut by Karen Thompson Walker, a new author worthy of attention. The earth’s rotation is slowing causing changes in time, weather and gravity. But this book is more about a young girls coming of age during this turbulent time than anything that could be considered sci-fi. Julia, a middle-school student, must deal with all the issues a young teen has to deal with, while also dealing with major changes in the world as she knew it. This book is highly readable and reminds me somewhat of Life As We Knew It, a teen fiction by Susan Beth Pfeffer (also recommended). SG
