Synopsis:
Approx. 4 hours, 3 cassettes
Jason Miller feels trapped in the small town of Billington -- where nothing
ever happens. But when his friend Ethan dies of what the doctor calls a
burst appendix, Jason's life changes forever. First he is given a mysterious
glove that can shoot pellets with deadly force. Then he learns that the
monthly shots he gets from the friendly town doctor are not for his health
but for a far more sinister purpose. As he peels away layer after layer of
the lies he's been told, Jason comes to learn of his own true nature.
From the Author:
A book that addresses many issues
In "The Dark Side of Nowhere," I wanted to address issues of cult mentality, and the kind of institutionalized racism that can kill millions of people, or just one. It's all wrapped up in a sci-fi action story, that's a metaphor for the many issues I try to address. Kirkus Reviews wrote "Shusterman seamlessly combines gritty, heart-stopping plotting with a wealth of complex issues; this book is a natural in and out of the classroom." Publisher's Weekly calls it "...a science-fiction page-turner in a classic mold."
