Watch the Sky

About this book

The signs are everywhere Jorys stepfather Caleb says. Red leaves in the springtime. Pages torn from a library book. All the fish in an aquarium facing the same way. A cracked egg with twin yolks. Everywhere and anywhere. And because of them Jorys life is far from ordinary. He must follow a very specific set of rules: dont trust anyone outside the family have your work boots at the ready just in case and always always watch out for the signs. The end is coming and they must be prepared. School is Jorys only escape from Calebs tight grasp. With the help of new friends he begins to explore a world beyond his familys farm. Then Caleb notifies the family that the time has come for final preparations: digging in their backyard canyon at night. Every night. As the hole gets deeper so does Jorys doubt about whether Calebs prophecy is true. When the real reason for their digging becomes clear Jory must choose between living his own life or following behind Caleb shutting his eyes to the bright world hes just begun to see.
