From the Printz Award-winning author of Dig comes a “poignant, propulsive, and profound” (Publishers Weekly) novel about the effects of isolation and what it means to be connected to the world. “Timely and extraordinary.”-School Library Journal, starred reviewTime has stopped. It's been June 23, 2020, for nearly a year, as far as anyone can tell. Frantic adults demand that teenagers focus on finding practical solutions to the worldwide crisis. Not everyone is on board though. Javelin-throwing prodigy Truda Becker is pretty sure her “Solution Time” class won't solve the world's problems, but she does have a few ideas what might. Truda lives in a house with a switch that no one ever touches, a switch her father protects every day by nailing it into hundreds of progressively larger boxes. But Truda's got a crowbar, and one way or another, she's going to see what happens when she flips the switch.
