Welcome to Harding Springs, 1910. Nothing ever happens in Harding Springs. No tragic fires on Regent Avenue. No boating disaster on the lake. No runaway carriage ever flattened the Harding Springs Auxiliary Marching Band. It's a quiet town filled with only peaceful and pleasant days. That's because no one knows about the incredible secret that lies behind the door at 55 Main Street or that the fates of the town residents rest in the vest pocket of a single, solitary stranger. But when young Parker Riley and Harding Springs newcomers Cora and Cassandra Swanson stumble upon the amazing truth, their peaceful world is turned upside down as they attempt to protect the town-and themselves-from sinister interlopers and grave danger! Read the book Kirkus Reviews calls "a fun time-travel caper that has more of the quaint ambiance of a cozy mystery than an epic SF adventure. Our verdict: Get it." Earner of multiple Five Star Reviews from Readers' Favorites! "Delightful and spellbinding, Nothing Ever Happens On Main Street by Daren Hatfield is an adventure tale crafted for young adults with Ray Bradbury vibes. While different and original, this novel compares favorably with Something Wicked This Way Comes. The plot focuses on a clever mystery and the young protagonist's role in it. However, there is much more to this story as themes of growth (for young and old alike) and the choice between greed and self-sacrifice are vital components. A superb cast of lovable characters, which include Tricksy the horse and the kind of villains you boo, enhances the wondrous narrative. Deeply immersive, thanks partly to the author's skillful use of terminology, and with a pleasant overall pace, Nothing Ever Happens On Main Street is a beguiling work. I recommend this book without hesitation." - Gaius Konstantine for Readers' Favorite "Nothing Ever Happens on Main Street by Daren Hatfield is a YA adventure set in 1910. This is a well-written, fun story that will keep you hanging onto every word. The language perfectly fits the era, and the author's compelling narrative will have you believe you are there in the peaceful town of Harding Springs in the early 1900s. The characters are wonderful, well-rounded, and likable, especially Tricksy the horse! This unique story has an exciting plot and plenty of adventure and action. It is lighthearted, an easy read, and has lots of exciting twists and turns. If you love stories that transport you to a different place and time, you will love this one. It's unique, it's adventurous, and a fresh story for this genre." - Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers' Favorite "Daren Hatfield adds a pinch of humor to this wonderful coming-of-age story...This riveting sci-fi novel warns us that advanced technology requires a responsible approach. As the narration unfolds, Parker undergoes stages of painful inner growth and provides us with food for thought. Depicting Doyle, the author creates the complex character of a loner who struggles to find friends. Cora is a true daughter of the twentieth century, representing an independent, skilled, open-minded woman with a gentle heart. Overall, the novel is delightfully imaginative, and avid science fiction fans will surely appreciate it." - Nina Lobiladze for Readers' Favorite
