Sigrun's family--along with everyone else--decides to hibernate in their TimeBoxes(R), hoping for someone else to fix the world's problems .

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 couldn't penetrate. The king'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 it's up to her and her friends to break the ancient curse and fix the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yonder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632062055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andri Sn\u0026#230;r Magnason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36663404724380,"sku":"9781632062055","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fb281c8d-c378-4b97-a48b-9efc21c819be.jpg?v=1603904227","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-casket-of-time-9781632062055","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
