When the Sky Fell on Splendor
Emily HenryFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation, Emily Henry’s A Song Below Water meets Stranger Things novel is 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 weren’t a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. That’s the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by & 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, & they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories & legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. It’s silly, it’s fun, & it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them.
Until one evening, when the strange & dangerous thing they film isn’t fiction–it’s a bright light, something massive hurtling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes & the teens go to investigate… everything changes.
