I felt a strong hand wrap around my swollen ankle and begin to pull. I couldn't hold on anymore."" In a span of 100 hours, 11-year-old Justin Tyme's world has been shattered. Still reeling from his father's unexplained disappearance and unsatisfied with the non-answers his mother has given him, he learns of his father's involvement with an elite team of engineers on the brink of developing a revolutionary new material, code-named C-Metal. With help from the school janitor, Justin unravels the clues to his father's disappearance, documenting his search in a mysterious, gold-edged journal his teacher gives him. As he searches for his dad, he copes with his mother's depression and struggles to protect his sister from their emotionally abusive stepfather. "Search a Darker Sky" is a rapid-fire psychological journey that propels Justin from boyhood to adolescence. "I was blown away by the suspense in "Search a Darker Sky."
