“A juicy creep-a-thon . . . builds to a suprising cliffhanger ending.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) At first, it sounds like the answer to a parent’s prayers: an elite boarding school in the Oregon mountains where wayward kids turn their lives around. But behind the idyllic veneer lie disturbing rumors of missing students and questionable treatments. “A NAIL-BITING ROLLER-COASTER RIDE.” —Library Journal Jules Farentino knows her half-sister, Shaylee, has been going off the rails lately.
