Dark Side of Nowhere Summary

A detailed Summary of Dark Side of Nowhere Summary

This book starts out with a boy named Ethan dieing and everybody said it was appendicitis however later Jason and some others realized it wasn't. Jason didn't like his life because he thought it was too boring and he thought his parents were too nice because they never punished him too badly. Also at Ethan's wedding, Jason wondered why Ethan's parents didn't cry but his dad said it was shock however later Jason learned Ethan hadn't died at all.

At a Little League game in Billington, Jason got in a fight with a boy

because that boy was insulting the pitcher who was the girl that Jason liked. He got badly beat up and he went to the restroom to take care of the bruises that he had gotten. Then his school janitor, Mr. Grant, walked inside the restroom and gave Jason a glove that shot out BBs however Jason learned that the glove shot BBs by himself. He also told him to meet by a barn in a place called Old Town to learn what to do with it.

The next day, Paula, the pitcher that Jason liked, went to Jason's house and told him he ruined her no-hitter yesterday. She was turning to leave but Jason wanted her to stay there so he decided to show her the glove Grant had given him even though Grant said not to show anyone the glove. He

The next important thing was that the people who were aliens had moved to Old Town to live and they could get a new weapon that burned holes in things. Also Jason was told by Ethan that he needed to dump Paula so Jason tried to. He went to her house and said that he needed to talk to her however she started talking about how she didn't think Ethan was really dead and she dared Jason to dig up his grave. However she tricked him and she sort of dumped him because he had been lying to her.

At home, his parents said they were moving and they were not going to stay in Billington. Jason wanted to know why and he pulled out the glove that he got from Grant. His dad furiously wondered where he had gotten that and he got very mad. He finally went out and went to a storm cellar in Old Town that was actually a space ship. There, Jason's dad told him everything: about how he was an alien and how they got to Earth and about them stealing the faces of the human civilians that previously lived there before they were killed.

When Jason was at Doc Fullers' lab he ran from it because he didn't want to be an alien and the Transitionals ( the other kids that were becoming aliens) chased him until he led all but one away. Wesley was the only one who knew where he was and he sold out on his best friend by telling everyone else where Jason was. Finally he ran down the road to the only place he knew was safe and that was Ms. Pohl's house because Jason had gotten his body from the man named J.J. Pohl.

When he woke up, he was at a Holiday Inn and his parents were there along with Paula and they told him what had happened. They went to the State Capitol and talked to the governor about how Jason was an alien and the story ended by saying basically that Jason wanted to be human more than anything.
