Sammy Keyes and the Wild Things

Overview

THIS IS NOT the summer camping trip of Sammy's dreams. She imagined shade, streams, a deer or two. But she winds up in a phony forest with scrubby shrubs, blazing sun, rattlesnakes, and scorpions. Her fellow campers are desperate to catch a rare glimpse of an endangered condor in the wild. Sammy's seen enough--that bird is ugly!

But when she and two other girls find an injured condor, Sammy's intrigued. The girls stray away from their group to track down a clue, but instead stumble onto two classmates and wind up lost. Which leaves three girls and two boys in the middle of a canyon with one tent and six billion biting flies. Oh--and an armed and dangerous high-stakes poacher.

S'mores, anyone?
