About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation, Emily Henry's A Song Below Water meets a Stranger Things novel is a thrilling tale about a group of friends in a quaint town grappling with newfound abilities following a cosmic incident.
The explosion at the local steel mill in Splendor, Ohio, impacted nearly everyone in the community. For seventeen-year-old Franny, the aftermath of the accident leaves her helplessly watching as her brother remains comatose five years later.
In the aftermath of the disaster, Franny discovers comfort in a circle of friends who share similar struggles. Known as The Ordinary, the group spends their time exploring local myths and spooky tales, documenting their adventures for their online audience. It's a lighthearted distraction from the grief that engulfs them.
However, their reality shifts dramatically one fateful night when the inexplicable and perilous entity they capture on camera isn't fabricated. It's a radiant entity hurtling towards them from the heavens. As they investigate the crash site, their lives are forever altered.
