A summer camp with game-like rules

Eleven-year-old gamer Sofia Mendoza expects to be building worlds in Sandbox, not spending summer at Camp Forestjaw. The camp’s uncanny details—mechanical vultures, cloaked figures described as NPCs, and a stern adult called Monarch—give the setting a distinctly game-inflected edge. When an elimination game begins, Sofia’s effort to survive becomes bound up with a troubling premise: past actions return to matter, however long ago they occurred. The first installment in a middle-grade horror series, the book brings together camp, gaming, and consequences in a story centered on a young protagonist out of her element.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers interested in horror fiction and unsettling summer-camp settings.
  • Kids who enjoy stories involving video games, gamers, and technology gone wrong.
  • Readers looking for a series opener featuring an eleven-year-old protagonist.

Book overview

Black Mirror meets Goosebumps in the first installment of this fast-paced middle-grade horror series by New York Times-bestselling authors Erin Entrada Kelly and Eliot Schrefer featuring tales of technology gone wrong.

Eleven-year-old Sofia Mendoza is a gamer, not a camper. She should be at home building landscapes and fighting monsters in Sandbox, not deep in the forest with six other kids, who might as well be playing her favorite game in tutorial mode.

Even worse, there's something off about this summer camp. There are creepy, mechanical vultures, cloaked NPC figures, and the only adult is Monarch, a grim woman in combat boots.

And then the game of elimination begins.

Sofia may be caught in the clutches of Camp Forestjaw, but she'll do anything to survive. Anything. The problem is, in Forestjaw, everything you've ever done--no matter how long ago--comes back to you . . .
