Where the Rock Splits the Sky - Hardcover
The moon has been split, and the Visitors have Earth in their alien grip. But the captive planet? That's not her problem. Megan just wants to track down her missing dad...
The world stopped turning long before Megan was born. Ever since the Visitors split the moon and stilled the Earth, permanent sunset is all anyone has known. But now, riding her trusty steed Cisco, joined by her posse, Kelly and Luis, Megan is on the run from her Texas hometown, journeying across the vast, dystopic American West to hunt down her father. To find him, she must face the Zone, a notorious landscape where the laws of nature do not apply. The desert can play deadly tricks on the mind, and the quest will push Megan past her limits. But to solve the mystery of not just her missing father but of the paralyzed planet itself, she must survive it--and an alien showdown.

From Booklist:
A Wild West world where the earth no longer rotates and the sun never sets is the setting for this bleak-future novel by British author Webb. Long before Megan Bridgwater was born, aliens called the Visitors crushed the moon into nothing but dust, causing the world to stop turning, an event that vaulted Texas into a place of Wild West–style martial law. Now 15, with her mother dead and father missing, Megan receives a strange map of the Zone, a dangerous wasteland, from a mysterious stranger who claims it’s from her father. Determined to be a hero, Megan embarks on an adventure to fight aliens and find not only answers but her long-lost father. With her is her friend Luis (a farrier) and Kelly, an abductee whose entire town vanished for 20 years. Lots of blood, gunfire, and salty language pepper the pages of this novel from Webb (Six Days, 2011), who capably shapes a world that is equal parts western and futuristic science fiction. Grades 10-12. --Stacey Comfort
