24 Hours in Nowhere
Publisher: Sterling Children’s Books
Nowhere, Arizona has the dubious honour of being the worst place to live in the USA. But relentless heat and grinding poverty are the least of Gus’ problems compared to local bully, Bo Taylor.
When girl-biker, Rossi, saves Gus from ‘death by rabid cactus’ at Bo’s hands, the only way to repay the debt is by risking his life a second time, searching for lost gold in Dead Frenchman Mine. The mine might kill both him and his friends, but it’s also just possible that it could provide them with an unexpected escape route.
Wry, dark humour and an intensely atmospheric backdrop characterise this witty, intelligent and gripping story about friendship, hope, natural justice and self-empowerment.
