About This Book
Reach for this book if your middle schooler is navigating the complex world of peer pressure or feels like they are struggling to fit into the 'right' social circles. This fast paced story follows Spencer, a boy labeled as a troublemaker, who finds himself at a secluded camp for boys where a dangerous, cult like group known as the Tribe is recruiting. Through a blend of horror and humor, the book explores themes of loyalty, the desire for belonging, and the courage required to stand against the crowd when a group's influence turns toxic. It is an ideal choice for kids who enjoy spooky, high stakes adventures but are also ready to process the emotional weight of being an outsider. Parents will find it a useful tool for discussing how social groups can sometimes strip away individuality and what it means to be a true friend.
