There are three things wrong with wilderness camp. 1) The wilderness. 2) Ingrid. 3) All the other screwball teens there. Is Ingrid losing her sanity – or might she just be finding it? It starts as a simple deal with Mum. If Ingrid can get through three weeks at wilderness camp, she can go to the school of her choice. Sounds fair. Log cabins, campfires, marshmallows… Except – when Ingrid arrives, it’s clear she’s made a big fat blunder. (Should have read the small print!) There are no marshmallows here. Her group must survive a tortuous trek, with nobody to guide them and nothing but what they can carry. Ouch. Even worse, she’s been teamed up with an ‘at risk’ bunch of losers and screw-ups. What’s Ingrid got in common with them? What can they teach her? Answer: more than she thinks…
