YA
On a school hiking trip, an inexperienced and ineffectual orienteering club assistant, Ben, attempts to assert himself in a series of bad decisions, culminating in a disastrous outcome. Despite Ben's claims of best intentions, bits of disturbing information revealed in his dispassionate first-person narration call his account into question. This psychological thriller is an unsettling story of a young man wrestling with responsibility, indecision, and insecurity.
