Well, this book turned my brain inside out and upside down trying to get my head around it. Good thing it was not a really long book, though it would have been nice if the author explained more about the kids with special abilities and whether it had anything to do with the way time stopped. Tru, being one of those kids that had a super powerful javelin throw (world record throwing in fact), is the main character and though it took a bit to get used to it, I really got into her narrative with her broken family and how it related to the boxes her father built and the bombs left by her terrible sister. This book did a good job of physically showing a broken family and how to fix it, with the tilting house and boxes and how Tru tried to fix it with the dismantling of the boxes. The psychology parts were kind of interesting too, like the emotions clock.

It was a twisty book and not usually what I read but I liked it.
