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.

Store description

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
