YA
Emma goes on a week-long camping trip with a group of fellow teenagers. But when a sudden storm kills several, including their guide, she and three others must find their way to safety. Only Emma receives much in the way of character depth, while the other three are essentially caricatures. That said, the survival drama remains taut enough to keep pages turning.
