Saved! meets Tim Federle with just a dash of A.S. King in this
hilarious and poignant debut about a teen stuck at Jesus camp. It's
bad enough that Nick's sister is dead, and, in some bizarre attempt
to force him to confront his grief, his parents are shipping him
off to Jesus camp. But he's also being followed around by Jack
Kerouac, who's incredibly annoying for a genius. If arguing with a
dead beat poet doesn't qualify him for antipsychotics already,
Nick's pretty sure Eden Springs is going to drive him insane. The
campers ride donkeys into the desert, snap selfies with counselors
dressed as disciples, and replace song lyrics with Bible verses.
And somehow, only Nick seems to find this strange. Worst of all is
the PC Box, into which the campers gleefully place daily prayers
and confessions. With Jack nagging him to do it, Nick scribbles
down his darkest secret--about his sister's death--and drops it in
the box. But then the box is stolen, with Nick's secret inside of
it. And when campers' confessions start appearing around the camp,
Nick is desperate to get the box back--before the world learns the
truth about what he did. The truth he can't even face himself.
Laugh-out-loud funny, surreal, and insightful, this is an
unforgettable novel about the strangeness of life, death, and
grief--and the even stranger things people do to cope.
