The Dark Side of Nowhere is a children's book written by Neal Shusterman and published by Little Brown and Company in 1997. This 256 page science fiction book is for readers aged 12 and up and is about a boy who is tired of being normal, living in a normal town and how all of that changes quite suddenly.

Plot

The boy in the book -- Jason Miller -- is having a bad day. It's not that he doesn't feel like himself, he actually ISN'T himself. Everything has changed. His friend Ethan dies. Jason really isn't himself all of a sudden. So he starts wondering who he is (he just doesn't know). And to make matters worse, it's not just him; it seems that EVERYONE in the town is acting weird including his friends and family. So much for boring old Billington. As we wade through the pages of this book we learn that Jason is going to find out a lot of new things about Billington.[1]
