"What if the most terrifying thing has already happened?" Drawn by a mysterious force, 12-year-old Joel and his terrible parents have just arrived in yet another nondescript small town. There's a diner, a movie theatre, a motel, and a bar. But this time, things seem different, especially when suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant cube appears on the edge of town. And . . . just as Joel starts to make friends and navigate a new school, which is hard enough, Beaus�jour is beset by nightly appearances of zombies, demon landlords, therapy-seeking vampires, and depressed clowns. One by one, the citizens of Beaus�jour begin to disappear. When his parents vanish, Joel and his friend Charlie seek to shelter themselves from the strangeness all around them. A hilarious and sinister reflection on growing up in a world where monsters are real, Nowhere is a dreamlike meditation on adolescence and the absurdity of small-town life. Illustrated with Claytor's expressive, richly textured visuals, wildly echoing the offbeat world of Beaus�jour, Nowhere signals the arrival of a profound and vital voice.
