Description
When a trip to the Grand Canyon turns out to be a trick to take her to a remote, all-girl treatment center for unstable teens, sixteen-year-old Brit realizes that inner strength and the help of other inmates will help her endure the camp.
Quick Summary
Brit thinks she's heading to the Grand Canyon but gets ambushed with a one-way ticket to a wilderness therapy camp, and the twist hits hard when she realizes her parents aren't coming back for months. The sassy banter between the girls, the hidden underground passages, and the way Brit transforms from a scared newcomer into a fierce leader who fights the corrupt staff make this impossible to put down. If your kid loves the emotional gut-punch of Wonder or the survival drama of Hatchet, they'll devour this story of resilience and friendship. Perfect for kids in grades 6-9 who enjoy character-driven stories about finding your voice.
