A page-turning speculative adventure about seven girls who wake up on a deserted tropical island—and must quickly figure out how to survive and get back home.
The last thing twelve-year-old Jane remembers is getting on the bus to go to summer camp. Now she’s waking up in a deserted tropical paradise with six other girls she’s never seen before.
Clearly, something very weird is going on.
Everyone has a theory. Theater kid Ariel is convinced it’s a reality show, competitive athlete Nadia thinks it’s government-recruitment training, and geeky genius Jenkins wonders if it could be an alien experiment. Jane doesn’t have time to speculate; she’s too worried her presence here is a mistake. All the other girls are extraordinary, while Jane is entirely and depressingly average. How is she supposed to keep up when her own anxious thoughts are telling her she’s doomed to fail?
The one thing all the girls agree on is that they need to work together to survive. But their bonds are put to the test as the girls begin to disappear one by one, each claimed by a mysterious something lurking in the woods. Turns out—this island is looking for a very specific, very dangerous person.
And for the first time in her life, Jane might not be the ordinary girl she thought she was.
