Watch Keepers

Watch Keepers


Cody Granor is a kid with spunk. He thrives on adventure and relishes challenges, like playing hoop games with the older kids at the community basketball courts. Even having cancer doesn't quell his spirit. He makes friends with a vegetable stand vendor he calls "Tomato Man," and shows off when he rides to school on the back of Tomato Man's large, loud motorcycle. When the town's real estate magnate has Tomato Man's stand torn down to make room for a fancy hotel, Cody bravely defends his new friend. When Cody's cancer puts him back into the hospital, Tomato Man camps out in Cody's hospital room. Eventually, the pair are designated the town's honorable Watch Keepers by the real estate magnate, and they become a longed-for sight as they make fresh produce deliveries on Tomato Man's impressive bike.

Then tragedy strikes a crushing blow to the town of Martinsville with Cody's untimely death, and those who are closest to Cody, his parents and Tomato Man, feel completely lost.


Will Cody's unquenchable spirit live on in Martinsville? Will the Watch Keeper movement continue? Read on to find out how the legacy of Cody Granor changes the lives of eight at-risk high school seniors and the town of Martinsville forever.
