When the Sky Fell on Splendor

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Henry, Emily. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780451480736.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, comes a gripping story about a group of friends in a small town who find themselves dealing with unexpected powers after a cosmic event. Almost everyone in the small town of Splendor, Ohio, was affected when the local steel mill exploded. If you werent a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. Thats the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by and do nothing as her brother lies in a coma. In the wake of the tragedy, Franny found solace in a group of friends whose experiences mirrored her own. The group calls themselves The Ordinary, and they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories and legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. Its silly, its fun, and it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them. Until one evening, when the strange and dangerous thing they film isnt fiction--its a bright light, something massive hurtling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes and the teens go to investigate...everything changes.
