UNCOVER A HIDDEN WORLD OF ADVENTURE AND FAITH RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD!

Embark on a captivating, eight-part journey into the secret life of a Western Pennsylvania backyard. ONE DAY IN AUGUST: RED SKY AT MORNING is not just a story; it's a unique and intricately woven adventure that unfolds over a single, action-packed summer day. Perfect for advanced readers and young teens who love nature, adventure, and stories with a deeper meaning.

Meet a cast of eight different animal characters-including a curious cat exploring the outside world for the first time, an intrepid mouse on a desperate quest for food, an owl soaring high on a hunt, and five other surprise characters. Each chapter offers a distinct perspective, but their lives are mysteriously intertwined, revealing a larger, interconnected world. This is a story of survival, discovery, and unexpected connections that will keep your reader on the edge of their seat.
What makes this book truly special is its innovative narrative structure. As a "Follow-Your-Own-Character" book, you can jump from one character's adventure to another at designated moments, allowing you to choose your own path through the unfolding day. Follow a character you love, discover a new one, or revisit a crucial moment from a different point of view. This interactive style makes ONE DAY IN AUGUST: RED SKY AT MORNING a book that can be read over and over again, with a fresh experience every time.

More than just a thrilling adventure, this book is built on an unmistakably Christian worldview. Themes of creation, encouragement, perseverance, salvation, and God's purpose in it all are thoughtfully woven into the narrative, providing a strong, uplifting message for readers. The animals don't speak, but their struggles and triumphs reflect eternal truths and valuable life lessons.
