'Kindness breeds kindness'
Bewertet mit 3 Sternen
Thanks to a gigantic dust storm, Jeremiah Goodbye can escape the electric chair and flee to his hometown Nowhere, where his twin Josiah and his father Wilmington still live. But Nowhere, once a flourishing farmland, is now a bleak and infertile spot visited by regular dust storms. And people have not forgotten that Jeremiah was convicted for the murder of four men. However, with the help of a young boy, and his own actions while helping people after an especially strong duster, Jeremiah earns back respect, maybe even trust.
There is a lot going on in Nowhere, but the main force definitely is the kind of supernatural dust storm, which changes people. First they become mean, then lethargic, and only Jeremiah and the boy Peter seem to be immune to the dust storm's magic and able to stand up against it. The story combines historical crime with supernatural elements into a very special story full of wonder.
