The Wonder Years: Post Apocalypse.
THE BIRDICT
š§” The premise of the earthās spin slowing down is a fascinating one in itself. And what this book does brilliantly is extrapolate how society and our planet would react to such a change. I havenāt the scientific background to know if the environmental elements are authentic, but they sounded realistic.
š Warning: This is a slow burn of a book. Itās a tween girlās day to day account of a piecemeal apocalypse. Weāre not talking rip roaring action or fighting in the streets.

š§ I found this a thoroughly pleasant addition to my day. Not too much required in terms of concentration and narrator Laurence Bouvard has a very sweet, young girlās voice, which I found charming. Iād advise listening to the sample beforehand as it is a one-narrator book.
