"Gravity’s victory was inevitable.  My fingers were losing their grip, slowly sliding off a rusty section of rain gutter... 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.  Truly an amazing story!  One to be read by millions." —Justin Stanton, age 13"I couldn’t put the book down.  I felt I was part of the story.  I can hardly wait for the sequel!" —Yonatan Margalit, age 11The Author: As a kid, Devik Schreiner had a bad haircut and wore his pants too short.

He plays the trumpet and piano, loves golf and the San Francisco Giants, and is known for balancing a pencil on his nose.
