Tumble & Fall is a beautiful look at the inner lives of people facing the end of the world with love and grace. It is not a story of the apocalypse, and people who read it expecting action and last-ditch heroics will be disappointed. Tumble & Fall focuses on three teens and their families, living in a small island community, sorting out their relationships and priorities as they live through what may be the last week of life on Earth. The writing is lovely, honest, even funny at times, and the narrative moves at a fast pace. The focus on the three main characters keeps the story centered on the human impact of an impending global disaster, and it's the connections between the people that give this book its strength and its emotional impact. 
 I'll be posting a more in-depth review closer to the book's release date in September. For now, I'll just say that I'm so pleased to have read this touching book, and recommend it highly.
