Nowhere Boys

A heart-stopping survival thriller for everyone who loved The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games.

Four teenage boys are hiking in the bush when they are caught in a freak storm. After surviving the night, the boys expect a hero's welcome – but instead they find that nobody knows who they are.

Not their family.

Not their friends.

They are faced with a town of blank faces and are trapped in a world where they don't exist.

Sam, Jake and Andy are desperate to right their lives. They need to figure out how to make things go back to the way they used to be. Only Felix is conflicted: there are certain things about this new world that he likes. But as they grapple with their situation, it becomes clear that other things have been disturbed. A dark force has been unleashed and suddenly the situation becomes desperate. The boys must find a way to right their lives before evil destroys them.

This is Misfits meets GONE. An intense and exciting read suitable for ages 11+.
