YA
In an inventive novel with overtones of horror and fantasy, twenty-five girls receive a mysterious invitation to attend summer camp. The girls are divided into five cabins, and each diverse group faces bizarre and dangerous situations. Written almost like a play, with an omniscient narrator editorializing on the happenings, the plot can be somewhat confusing, but the oddly appealing premise should carry readers through.
