Audrey is a 13 year old girl who can tell when people are lying. This causes lots of issues for her and she has basically made herself a hermit and stays away from people in order to not be hurt. Aaron has the ability to remember everything he reads or hears and is always spouting out facts and information but has not been able to deal with feelings and emotions. He gets into trouble for being a know it all. The main characters are told in alternately chapters in the book. Marisa writes about Audrey and David writes about David.
Both kids are offered the chance to go to an adventure camp in the dessert of Texas where 16 kids and a leader spend 6 weeks learning to survive, camp, and spend some renewal time. The kids are giving different tasks to accomplish which test them. They are broken up into groups of four and Audrey and Davis are joined by Louis and Kate who also have their own personal difficulties they are working through. The problems they face throughout the camp involve personality conflict, internal conflict, survival and a mystery to solve. They mystery is slight compared to the adventure and coming of age story.
This is a great story full of great characters which you will root for and learn to love. It is funny, adventurous, mysterious, and heart tugging. What is not to love! I recommend it highly.
