When 13-year-old C.J. Brown learns that she’ll be spending her entire summer away from her friends – isolated – in a small town in central Arkansas, she is utterly despondent. As she begins meeting some of the rural village’s residents, C.J. discovers she possess a strange and remarkable gift. And when she befriends an eccentric, 8-year-old rock hound, she finds herself in the bowels of earth.

To Brendan, flying is not only a dream about his future; it’s an important connection to his past. Reading the half-filled pages of his deceased father’s flight logbook, Brendan seeks to know a father who died too young, and to face a future that seems wrought with peril. Where the Sky Doesn’t End is a story about hopes, dreams, disappointments, triumphs, sacrifices and friendships.
