YA
When her co-counselor and best friend Casey is accused of murdering a nightmarish camper under their care, Jess is paralyzed by the public spotlight and tries to distance herself from Casey's now-suspicious weirdness. Ellis resoundingly pillories the hypocrisies of media scapegoating, but readers drawn in by the murder mystery aspect will be disappointed by the straightforward conclusion.
