Honest and forthcoming. . . -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review Darkly humorous . (Those Girls are coming back, aren\'t they?) Moving, suspenseful, and impossible to put down.
But they can\'t get her out of the well.
And as she begins to feel hungry and thirsty and dizzy, Kammie discovers she does have visitors, including a French-speaking coyote and goats that just might be zombies. (The Girls have gone for help, haven\'t they?) As the hours go by, Kammie\'s real-life trouble mixes with memories of the best and worst moments of her life so far, including the awful reasons her family moved to this new town in the first place.
Now she\'s trapped in the dark, counting the hours, hoping to be rescued.
She\'s fallen into a Well during a (fake) initiation into the Girls\' club.
Sixth-grader Kammie Summers\'s plan to be one of the popular girls at school hasn\'t gone the way she hoped.
I was ready.
