24 Hours in Nowhere


















Dusti Bowling does it again.  I loved Insignificant Events (which is on this year's MSBA list) and I love this one as well.

Nothing happens in Nowhere.  Poverty, heat, and really no hope.  Gus hopes to get out by acing the SAT, Rossi hopes to get out by riding her dirtbike.  But when Bo, the bully, manages to get Rossi's bike the only solution is to get him gold from the abandoned mine.  The mine that has been the site of a murder, numerous collapses, and disappearance.  Gus goes with one of Bo's minion but is then joined by Rossi and Jessie (an old friend of his).  When the mine collapses they must work together to find a way out.  If they find gold too that would be great.

Good friendships, good action, and a bit of a mystery.  I thoroughly enjoyed this.
