Review

Ten students and two teachers set off for a camp in the middle of the woods. Camp Buttress has a reputation for being haunted, but Fionn and his best friend Luca and the other students certainly hope the rumours are not true. But Céline wouldn’t mind if they were, as she would love to have a mystery to solve!


When they arrive at the camp the teachers are horrified by how run down it is, and the camp instructor doesn’t really seem to know what she is doing.


When things start disappearing and strange things happen the kids decide to investigate anduse their powers to solve the mystery. What could possibly go wrong?!


This is a fun and adventurous mystery filled with kids who have different powers, or who arejust discovering their powers, all set in a very strange camp. The characters are great and relatable, and the teachers come across as pretty cool as well. An enthralling story that willbe perfect for readers in lower secondary who enjoy a bit of mystery and the supernatural.
