A Finalist for the Washington State Book Awards At Forevermore, a sleepaway camp in the Pacific Northwest, campers are promised adventures in the woods, songs by the fire, and lifelong friends. Bursting with excitement and nervous energy, five girls set off on an overnight kayaking trip to a nearby island. But before the night is over, they find themselves stranded, with no adults to help them survive or guide them home. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore follows Nita, Andee, Isabel, Dina, and Siobhan beyond this fateful trip, showing us the lives of the haunted and complex women these girls become. From award-winning novelist Kim Fu comes a stunning portrait of girlhood, the nuances of survival, and the pasts we can´t escape.
"Readers will delight in the complicated, brash, ugly, and sincere presentation of Fu´s characters." -Courtney Eathorne, Booklist "An ambitious and dynamic portrayal of the harm humans-even young girls-can do." - Kirkus Reviews
