Description

Kally, aka the human antenna, sensed it coming. Planet Earth was shifting under her feet. So was her family. But she never imagined that their tipping points would let go this soon—and this fast. 

Now, Kally and her father are sheltering in place with strangers on an isolated island in the Gulf of Maine. As each world-busting wave of change rocks their tiny enclave, she fears she will never have the chance to realize her dreams.

In her urgent search for bearings, Kally discovers a surprising ally in Stuart, a champion forerunner who believes he can vault and pivot beyond anything that gets in his way. But, as they pool their skills, they soon realize: no map exists for what they and the earth are becoming. 

Setting out to find her way in the heaving future, Kally dares to steer by the only pole star she has left—her intuition-fueled creativity.

REVIEWED BY
Kristine L., Reedsy Discovery

Rich and robust, this expertly crafted sci fi/dystopian novel will have you turning pages until the very end.

“Trust nothing you thought you knew. Expect only the unexpected.”
That adage ably sums up this wonderfully rich and inventive Young Adult novel.

It’s summer off the coast of Maine. Kally and her father David, an emergency management professional, are sailing aboard Home, their stalwart vessel of many memoires. The weather forecast says “perfect.” An artist, Kally is trying to figure out her future and is about to begin her college tour. Dad is about to tell Kally Something Important – Something Big – when Home is hit by a titanic rogue wave and capsizes. Kally and her father are rescued by the Hart family. They’re enjoying a vacation on a nearby lighthouse island before plunging into the fall season.

It’s not long before Kally starts feeling she’s in a “summer Disney movie going very, very wrong.” Did a freak storm bring Kally and her dad to the island – or is something else going on? What is making that “sound-feeling”? Are Kally’s drawings “abstract art” or something else?

“All the falling apart of what used to be real? All the erupting of new facts of existence that never before existed on Earth? It all starts now.”

Then the families are hit by three whacked out weather seasons in one night. Then a swarm of “ghost birds.” St. Elmo’s fire. A Home-wrecking downburst. A ferocious whirlwind that knocks out all power and satellite service on the island and thrashes the entire East Coast. Enter “family-busting secrets.” A missing mother – Kally’s. Foothold and handholds. Freezing-tagging. A bellowing foghorn. Wayfinding. A “human antenna.” And Stuart Hart, a champion freerunner and surprising ally who dreams of becoming a NASA flight controller.

What in the world is going on?

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this book at first. Turning pages, however, I discovered a highly engaging blend of dystopian fiction, futuristic sci fi and “family forever.”

Featuring rich, full-bodied characters and robust writing, Solid, Broken, Changing is a page turner from chapter one. (That’s a really unfortunate title. A story as solid as this one deserves something better.) Nimble, agile, and briskly paced, Solid is an expertly crafted story that’s highly readable. It’s an exceptional achievement, especially for a first-time Young Adult novel.

Readers looking for something fresh and new in the YA genre will enjoy Solid, Broken, Changing. This one’s a winner!

Climate change is a big anxiety trigger for me, but I felt like I was able to somehow absorb the super harsh realities of what the characters (and we) are facing… I was totally transported. The mixture of anxiety, excitement and adventure was really gripping. And even though it is so intense, there is so much hope and positivity…

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. And how much I needed it! I seriously didn’t put it down. I hope there is a sequel coming.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a compelling work of art for our moment. Rather than turn away from the challenges of living in the anthropocene (how could they), the characters move with incoming force fields to create new, responsive paths. Such attuned, inventive maneuvers will be increasingly vital as we all “way find” trajectories in our totally new, unpredictable ecology

JK, Illinois

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for all who care about our planet earth and the changes that may already be underway. We begin BEC (before everything changed). A story of what’s possibly on the way for our planet earth and all who make it home. Capturing the fragile moments of adapting to a changing world we are taken along on this unbelievably believable new normal of a solid, broken and changing life in the Anthropocene.

Lelia, teen reader

I am both an avid reader and environmentalist, and I have long been searching for a book that truly explores the plights of living in this time of global warming…

I really identified with the thoughts and struggles of the characters, especially those of your main character, Kally. Her thought process and transformation over the plot of the book reflects what I think many people around the world are feeling in this day and age…

I also appreciated how everyone supported each other in your story, which shows that we can all depend on one another in times of crisis. That theme is also reflected right now with whole communities supporting one another during this pandemic. 

This was a good read, and I think others would love reading it as well.
