Camp Inferno

Seven kids walk into Redwood Camp. Not all of them will come back as themselves.

Redwood Camp promises exactly what every parent wants to hear: in two weeks, your child comes home tidy, sociable, focused. Improved. Nobody asks how they do it. Nobody is allowed to visit during the treatment. And nobody notices that some kids come back... different. Same face, same voice. Someone else inside.

Logan, Emily, Zach, Tyler, Samantha, Noah, and Benny start picking up the signs: a reflection that lags a fraction of a second behind, classmates who stop laughing overnight, a hidden note that warns: "They move on the sixth day." Beneath the camp there is a laboratory. And in the laboratory, perfect versions of each of them - waiting for their turn.

Camp Inferno is a young adult sci-fi thriller about what happens when the system decides to "fix" you... and about the most rebellious thing a teenager can do: stay himself. Imperfect. Real. Human.
