The Watchers by Jane Louise Curry
At war with his stepmother, in trouble at school, and desperately unhappy, thirteen-year-old Ray Siler was shipped off to strangers- to his mother's kin, the Clarks- like a parcel nobody wanted. Twillys' Green, the high mountain hollow in southern West Virginia where they lived, was another world from anything Ray had known, and it was different somehow even from the isolated, poverty-stricken hollows nearest it. The family name was Clewarek, not Clark, and that was only the first puzzle. Why did they evade his questions about the oddly-dressed people living in the half lean-to and half cave at the base of the hill behind the house? Why were strangers barred from the hollow? When Ray and his uncle Dream uncovered the great stone snake on the wall of the old coal mine high in the hollow, the mystery deepened. And through a splinter of that carved stone, Ray himself was drawn into a conflict that echoed an ancient tragedy played out over sixteen hundred years before.
