Every afternoon at the same time, something strange happens on Evan Holt's street.For ten minutes, gravity loosens its hold. A pencil drifts up from a desk. A leaf hangs in the air longer than it should. Evan is the first to notice the pattern. He pays attention. He writes things down. He watches from his porch and from his bedroom window, trying to understand what's going on.The floating is not random. It follows rules. It does not react to pushing, shouting, or excitement. The more Evan observes, the clearer it becomes that the moment only works when it is treated carefully.Then other kids begin to notice.When more people get involved, things start to change. The floating doesn't last as long. The air feels heavier. What once felt calm begins to slip out of balance, as if the world is pushing back. Evan realizes the problem is not how to make the floating happen, but how to let it happen without interfering.As he tries to figure out what the strange event means, Evan learns that paying attention matters. So does patience. Some things cannot be forced, even when you want answers.The Day Gravity Took a Break is a quiet adventure about noticing patterns, making careful choices, and learning when to step back.What if the rule is not to act, but to wait?
