Julia Lynn Rubin, Schools of Public Engagement '17
Sixteen-year-old Arlee Gold arrives for her first summer at Camp Rockaway, a college preparatory program deep in the wilderness that sets elite young people on the path to the Ivy League. Though she struggles with anxiety, panic, and a deep phobia of bugs, she is determined to find her place and succeed.
Despite the stigma set upon her by her mother's mysterious reputation, Arlee finds family with her bunkmates. At long last, Arlee has found a place she can belong. But her pleasant camp experience begins a slow descent into horror when she's invited to join the camp's secret sorority, whose aim to "protect the girls" may not be as noble as it seems. This dark and disturbing psychological horror novel will keep readers turning the pages to learn everything they can about what's really going on at the camp, but it's not for the squeamish.
