YA
When three teenage boy classmates and one new girl go camping together in Yosemite National Park, the threats--both external (fire and storms) and internal (more than one hiker has an ax to grind...perhaps literally)--quickly pile up. Although the narrative voices are not always sufficiently distinct, the alternating viewpoints and shifting chronologies result in a slow-burning psychological thriller with consistently mounting tension.
