Nightmare
For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes Nightmare from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon.
Â
    Emily has never fit in with her overachieving family. Instead of getting straight As, she sits in the back row and hides behind her hair. As a result, her parents have enrolled her for the summer at Camp Excel, an academic camp for underachievers. Emily doesn€t want to go, and not just because she thinks it isn€t necessary. Since she was a child, she€s been plagued by a recurring nightmare. And something about this camp feels familiar. Has she been there before? Why can€t she remember?
    With the help of two new friends, Emily discovers that her nightmare is not just in her head. Someone at Camp Excel has a secret and will do anything€"even kill€"to keep Emily from uncovering the truth.
