The Great Unknowable End by Kathryn Ormsbee

From the author of Tash Hearts Tolstoy comes a funny, moving novel about the lengths we'll go to make dreams our dreams come true that's perfect for fans of Sean David Hutchinson and Rainbow Rowell.

Slater, Kansas, is a small town where not much seems to happen.

Stella dreams of being a space engineer. After Stella's mom dies by suicide and her brother runs off to Red Sun, the local hippie commune, Stella is forced to bring her dreams down to earth to care for her sister, Jill.

Galliard has only ever known life inside Red Sun. There, people accept his tics, his Tourette's. But when he's denied Red Sun's resident artist role, which he believed he was destined for, he starts to imagine a life beyond the gates of the compound.

The day Stella and Galliard meet, there is something in the air in their small town. Literally. So begin weeks of pink lightning, bloodred rain, unexplained storms.And a countdown clock appears mysteriously above the town hall. With time ticking down to some great unknowable end they'll each have to make a choice.

If this is really the end of the world, who do they want to be when they face it?

Kathryn Ormsbee had a secret garden in her backyard and a spaceship in her basement when she was a kid. She is the author of the YA novels Lucky Few, Tash Hearts Tolstoy, The Vast Unknowable End, and The Sullivan Sisters, as well as The Water and the Wild, The Doorway and the Deep, and The House in Poplar Wood. She's lived in a variety of wonderful cities, including Birmingham, London, and Seville, but she now calls Eugene home.
