The very moment the ute driven by Ort Flack's father ploughs into a roadside tree, the whole world goes out of kilter.
Ort knows the sky is watching. He knows what it means to watch; he spends long hours listening at doors and peering through cracks. Things are terribly wrong. His father is withering away, his sister is consumed by hatred, his grandmother is all inside herself, and his mother, a flower-child of the 1960s, is brave but helpless. When a strange man appears at their door, Ort Flack's world is thrown into chaos, and the Otherworld begins to encroach.
That Eye, the Sky is a novel about the miraculous power of love, about a boy's visions of the world beyond, about the blurry distinctions between the natural and the supernatural.
