The Dark Side of Nowhere is about children who have been called together to form a cult or better yet an alliance. The children are being taught things that their parents chose to forget about or tried to at least, in the tiny town of Billington I believe the author has done a great job with explaining the characters and telling what is happening and where they are. I would rate this book a four star rating because I could relate to some of the characters and it takes you on a roller coaster of feelings and adventures. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in books with thrillers and plot twists.
