THE LAKE HOUSE
Yellowjackets meets One of Us Is Lying in this thrilling survival story from New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst, where three girls must outwit and outlast a mysterious killer on an abandoned island.
When Claire's parents enroll her in a remote summer camp, she can't help but worry. It's what she does best.
Over the years she has learned to keep her obsessive thoughts at bay, but the idea of going to a summer camp far from civilization and only accessible by boat has her anxiety way up, especially when her arrival is delayed because of a storm. Together, she and the other stragglers -- Reyva (a martial arts student from Boston) and Mariana (an Instagrammer who is rebuilding her own 1955 Corvette) - are dropped off and told to follow a trail to where they'll be greeted by the camp director and the other teens.
But when they reach the Lake House, it's been burned to the ground. There is no food, no shelter, no electricity, and no cell service. And when they find the dead bodies, they begin to realize that none of it is an accident. But nothing seems to add up, and the longer they stay on the island, the more sinister it feels. If they want to get out of there alive, they'll need to unearth the truth - no matter how long it's been buried.
Sarah Beth Durst is the award-winning author of over twenty fantasy books for kids, teens, and adults, including Spark, Drink Slay Love, and The Queens of Renthia series. She won an American Library Association Alex Award and a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award and has been a finalist for SFWA's Andre Norton Nebula Award three times. She is a graduate of Princeton University, where she spent four years studying English. Sarah lives in Stony Brook, New York, with her husband, her children, and her ill-mannered cat.
