Our story takes place at a summer camp for young teens interested in theatre and acting. Our main character is grappling with her mother’s death, even years later, as the accident that caused her death occurred at the summer camp she is attending. Avril is a confident teen who quickly makes friends at the camp, and instantly, she becomes romantically interested in Cole, the son of the camp director, a famous actor turned teacher. As Avril is haunted by the sounds of the land, whispers, waves, and visions from the past, she endeavors to solve the mystery of her mother’s death. Is someone new haunting her? Or is she just stuck in the past?

I personally found this to be a quick, easy, and entertaining read. McGinnis’s writing is sharp and clever. Her dialogue is witty and believable. I personally found the ending to be a tad predictable, but don’t we all want to be able to solve the mystery?
