Teenager Rachel Owens gets a job as a counselor at Camp Silverlake. For the first week it is just the counselors at the camp. Rachel discovers that a boy died at the camp seven years ago, when some of the current counselors were campers, and who were there at the time of the boy’s death. The counselors seem edgy and disturbed when Rachel brings this up. Now, strange things are happening. A snake is left in a cabin, a counselor almost drowns. Someone seems to be trying to get their revenge on the counselors who were at the camp seven years ago…

This was an enjoyable read, written for young adults. I liked the camp setting and the mystery surrounding the boy’s death. I was curious to find out who the culprit was. The characters were show more interesting and the storyline drew me in. A good read from the 90’s. show less
I liked this one better than the Fear Streets that it gets classed with. I guessed the mystery that was unfolding but I stayed interested and didn't get continually skeptical because it was a little more realistic than the Fear Streets. The main character was likable, and the scenario was interesting.
