Bonnie, a Scottish fourteen-year-old living in Thailand during the Vietnam War, sets off on the Amelia Earhart Cadet camping trip. But the cadets become stranded on a desolate island; their flighty chaperone loses it, girls die, and Bonnie must provide the group with strength to persevere. Tense first-person narration candidly relays horrific experiences and moral quandaries in this anxiously suspenseful survival story.
