Plagued by her sister's death and her family's expectations, sixteen-year-old Zander stops feeling. Her parents send her to Camp Padua, a summer camp for at-risk teens, where she sees everyone as crazy. Through "share-apy" and forbidden night meetings, Zander rediscovers pain and compassion. Grover Cleveland, sensitive and confrontational, fears that he will one day be schizophrenic like his father. He influences Zander to befriend the rule-breaking, obnoxious, abused Cassie, who has anorexia and hails from the foster system. He also welcomes Bek, an overweight, charming, compulsive liar. The four bond when they buck the rules, test relationships, and reveal secrets. By the end of this The Breakfast Club-on-steroids novel, they look forward to another summer at camp.Crane builds believable, appealing characters who find a safe place to challenge authority. At first, camp slogans seem clichÚ to both characters and reader, but they gain credibility as Zander and friends realize the difficulty and joy of vulnerability and adult responsibility. Engaging letters home that reveal characters' growth introduce each chapter. Section labels that begin with "Knowing Yourself" and conclude with "Hope" mark progress. A near-tragedy motivates even the counselors to reveal what led them to Camp Padua. It is a great read for teens, especially girls, and a strong candidate for cross-generation discussion.Lucy Schall.
