Forthcoming
A twelve-year-old apprentice watchmaker repairs a damaged watch and opens a path into other versions of Modesto. In each city, adults sort children into those worth helping and those they can ignore. Then the friends hear adults at their own school making the same argument.
Forthcoming
The friends stopped adults in one Modesto from ranking children and would like to enjoy being right. Instead, they have to build something better. When a city program offers food and meeting space, the adults running it start deciding which children deserve to come inside.
Forthcoming
A before-school program tells families that it can predict which students will succeed. The friends use the watch to visit cities where adults control every hour of a child’s day. They return tired, divided, and unwilling to let their own school make the same bargain.
