DescriptionMeet Melanie Reid, the twelve year-old who has it all: a famous boyfriend, a future-minded cadre of dedicated followers, not to mention a scholarship to the most exclusive all-girls summer camp in New England, tucked away inside a breathtaking valley, complete with haunted caves behind a magnificent waterfall. Too bad for her, the boyfriend has been dead for 200 years; her dedicated followers are figments of her imagination; and the summer camp has apparently been custom-built for the rich and psychotically privileged. Just as things can't get any worse, Melanie is befriended by Alex Kochs, the only child of the richest man in the world. But in addition to forging a secret alliance with eight-year old camp legacy, Kell Nunen, who's twin sisters were long the terror of Tuppa Lake; Alex has diabolical plans of her own, hinging on the camp's advanced computer system, SAM, and the valley's cruelest of unofficial traditions: the Chef Hunt. And so, despite joining the summer play, and even being appointed General in the Color War, the more time Melanie spends with Alex, the less about her she knows for certain. When Alex goes too far, even for the Camp's exceedingly permissive Headmistress, Melanie must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice, in order to rescue a stranger.
