This Camp is Doomed

A run-down camp in the woods.

No phone reception.

Ten students with untested powers . . .

Céline is seeing conspiracies everywhere. Fionn has a bad premonition about the colour blue. Mr Berg is horrified at the camp’s questionable safety standards. Something is definitely not right at Camp Buttress.

This hilarious and quirky new novel by Anna Zobel will keep you guessing as the students and their teachers try to solve the mystery – and survive.

‘In her first upper-primary novel, Anna Zobel turns her knack for writing emotionally intelligent, likeable, mildly eccentric, diverse characters to the task of creating an engrossing adventure-mystery for imaginative readers... Whimsical, a tiny bit spooky, affirming, engaging, sincere, insightful, and occasionally funny’
