October Sky Parents Guide Novels & Stories

I ran towards the chatter and spotted mom and dad with Sky. "....You have to be more careful, Sky! How many times would we warn you against using your power on anyone else? Mostly humans! It's too dangerous." Mom rasped. My heart skipped. Sky used his powers on a human? What the hell... "It was a mistake, mommy. I didn't know when I..." Sky sniffed with teary eyes. "You have to control it next time, Sky." My father said patting his back. I cleared my throat. "I'm home."

Seeing Sky lethargic, Edmund's feelings were in turmoil. Rachel didn't have the heart either. "Honey, what else do you want to do with Uncle Ed?" "There are many, Mama. One of them is camping in the yard and studying directions through the stars." "We can do it tonight, Sky," Edmund interrupted, not wanting her sadness to drag on. "Yes, but what about the others?

"Marvin, how can you just quit without a word to me? Do you have any idea how many strings I had to pull to land you this job?" "My grandpa's sick. I've got to quit to look after him." Hannah's grip on my arm was like iron, her voice rising to a screech. "Grandpa's important, sure, but I'm pregnant! If you quit now, who's going to cover all our bills?
