Critics Review
Praise for 24 Hours in Nowhere:“Readers who loved Holes and Dusti Bowling’s earlier novel, Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, will be delighted with 24 Hours in Nowhere, a similarly captivating novel abounding in wordplay, eccentric personalities and an evocative setting.” –Shelf Awareness, Starred review”A blend of taut suspense and laugh-out-loud humor from Bowling … proves a winning combination in this 24-hour escapade … With playful elements reminiscent of Richard Peck, this slightly larger-than-life adventure offers plentiful surprises and a lovable antihero.” –Publishers Weekly, Starred review”The ragtag band of misfits … calls to mind the gang from The Goonies, and their underground escapades vacillate among genuinely creepy, hilarious, and thrilling… . Sure to resonate with any kid who’s felt misplaced in their inherited surroundings.” –Booklist” … fast-paced and filled with adventure, excitement and humor… . This is a perfect pick for young readers who love a well-developed story with twists and turns all the way to the very end.” –Bookpage
