“Timely and extraordinary.”—School Library Journal, starred review
Time 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.

“A work of literary genius.”—Booklist
“Printz Award winner King returns with another surrealist masterpiece.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Poignant, propulsive, and profound.”—Publishers Weekly
