Book Review: Dust by Arthur Slade

I think what I love most about my Kindle is that it has given me more pleasant surprises than any other device I've ever owned and Dust by Arthur Slade is one of the best examples of this. I picked up Dust during a time when it was being offered for free (that's right, nada) and the story it gave me was priceless. There's no bigger return on an investment than that, friends.

Dust is about a depression-era town in Canada that has long been suffering from drought. One day, a pale man drives into town in an old truck, promising the townspeople a future of rain and prosperity. He has an ingenious design that will bring rain to the region, but he needs their help to build it. Not long after he comes town, children start disappearing and oddly, the parents of the missing children seem not to care. Only young Robert Steelgate can see what's going on and it's ultimately up to him to save his missing brother and his town.

Dust offers the reader a wonderful journey that's highly reminiscent of Ray Bradbury's fantastic tales. Beautifully written and imaginative, Dust is an excellent book and highly, highly recommended. Before you delve into your next bestseller, give this little book a minute of your time and you'll discover, like I did, that great things come in little (and inexpensive) packages. I give Dust ***** out of *****.
