Helpful Score: 3
The first time I read this book, I freaked out for a couple of years when I'd go to summer camp, sure that my parents sent me there to have me bumped off.
OK, not really, but still...
This book is exceptionally well-written, making you feel the tension the teens face when they realize their parents want them dead. DEAD. Yeek. Far from being your typical teen book, this one immerses you in the story and makes you come to actually like these teens and makes you wonder what they did that was so bad as to warrant their parents hiring someone to kill them. Turns out the kids are basically fine and it's the parents who are messed up (surprise, surprise!) and the ending is satisfying and real. LOVED this book as a 14-year-old and loved it again when I re-read it 22 years later!
