I don’t like reviewing books because I don’t want to influence another reader because I did or didn’t like the story.  But this time, I can’t help it because I am frustrated.  Yes I know it is a book written for entertainment purposes so here goes:  you know the slasher movies when the pretty girl, who is of course alone in a cabin in the woods where several pretty girls have already been slashed to death, hears a noise and has to go outside to investigate.  We all know that is beyond stupid.  Here is this book.  They are in a camp for troubled boys.  Yes that is a good thing.  Jordan the counselor does a great job.  She takes Timmy for a horseback ride into the woods.  Someone shoots at them.  She grabs Timmy and makes it back to the ranch.  Then a few nights later someone comes out of those woods and breaks into her room and chokes her in her bed.  She gets away and he runs back into the woods.  So what happens next?  She takes Timmy and several other little boys on a camping trip into those same woods with only one lazy guard.  You see where this is going?  I would already have taken Timmy and all the kids and left that camp.  I read for my entertainment.  I know that the books are works of fiction but can’t the characters in the books have a little bit of common sense? Of course it all works out in the end and the good guys win, Jordan marries Timmy's dad and they live happily ever after.
