Lavender and Marisol, 6th graders, are best friends – aren’t they? Now Marisol seems to be paying a lot of attention to Rachelle instead. On the three day 6th grade science camp, Lavender sees a chance to pull a prank on Rachelle – instead, the three girls and another classmate, John, get separated from the rest of the class during a flash flood. Now they are trying to survive. Tension between all of the group doesn’t bode well for their chances.
A good optional selection – the protagonists seem a little young for a three day school camping trip complete with tents. The friendship drama is well done – Lavender’s cluelessness to her possessive personality feels spot on.
