Read for myself from the library then bought it to share with my kids and we all enjoyed it. The main characters all have "flaws/superpowers" that, while exaggerated, are relatable. True to the format of a middle grade novel the bullies are clearly bullies and the victims are clearly victims, but the storyline unpacks each person's strengths and weaknesses, each person's reasoning for why they act how they do, and builds it into the plot naturally. We enjoyed flipping back and forth between a male and female perspective. My kids could see themselves in multiple characters.

I'm still not sure why someone would send their child on an outdoor excursion with one ex footballer. Seems like a poor parenting choice... Nevertheless, I enjoyed this story and the "flawed" characters that help each other recognize their strengths.
Able to sense when people are lying, Audrey is having a hard time keeping friends, and refuses to make new friends. Aaron can remember everything, and though he's liked by his classmates, he has a hard time understanding empathy. The two meet at an outdoor camping/hiking trip with sixteen teens and one aggressive adult. After clashing with two camp mates, the girl disappears and the camp leader seems to come unhinged. What happened to the girl? Are the other campers at risk?
