“Where are You?… YOU GUYS. Don’t leave me!”

Kammie’s life is in turmoil. Her family (minus her father) just moved to a new town, her brother is angry all the time, and she has to share an ugly orange room with him. Without anything familiar and comforting to hang onto, Kammie is desperate to fit in, and three girls have taken advantage of it.

The story opens with an “initiation” into a fake club. The girls’ trick  goes horribly wrong and Kammie is trapped in an old well, hurt, and alone.

The story unfolds from Kammie’s perspective. The combination of hallucinations, memories, and facts makes the otherwise basic plot complex and enthralling. The sense of danger is heightened as Kammie loses more of reality and begins to ramble. This emotional ride is one you can hardly put down as the ending often seems uncertain. Perfect for upper elementary school readers who are looking for a quick read with a satisfying depth.

This book will also serve well as a great discussion into bullying.
