What to expect
The end of everything is filled with beginnings in this surprising work of preapocalyptic fiction.
The world is spinning in the shadow of oncoming disaster. An asteroid is set to strike the earth in just one week's time; catastrophe is unavoidable. The question isn't how to save the world—the question is what to do with the time that's left. Against this stark backdrop, three teens are swept up into intertwining stories of love, friendship, and family—all with the ultimate stakes at hand.
Irresistible and inspiring, Tumble & Fall is a powerful novel of courage, love, and hope at the end of days.
