The Casket of Time (Yonder)

An entrancing adventure for todayâ€™s troubled planet, The Casket of Time is a fantastical tale of time travel and environmental calamity from celebrated Icelandic author Andri SnÃ¦r Magnason.

Teenage Sigrun is sick of all the apocalyptic news about the â€œsituationâ€ and, worse, her parentsâ€™ obsession with it. Sigrunâ€™s familyâ€”along with everyone elseâ€”decides to hibernate in their TimeBoxesÂ®, hoping for someone else to fix the worldâ€™s problems . But when Sigrunâ€™s TimeBoxÂ® opens too early, she discovers an abandoned city overrun by wilderness and joins a band of kids who are helping a researcher named Grace solve the â€œsituation.â€

The world, according to Grace, is under an ancient curse. There once was a princess named Obsidiana, who was trapped in time by the greedy king of Pangea. To protect Obsidiana from dark and gloomy days, the king put her in a crystal casket made of spider silk woven so tightly that time itself couldnâ€™t penetrate. The kingâ€™s greed for power doomed his kingdom and the trapped princess. Sigrun sees eerie parallels between the tale of Obsidiana and the present-day crisis, and realizes itâ€™s up to her and her friends to break the ancient curse and fix the world.
