Saved! meets Tim Federle with just a dash of A.S. King in this hilarious and poignant debut about a teen stuck at Jesus camp.Its bad enough that Nicks sister is dead, and, in some bizarre attempt to force him to confront his grief, his parents are shipping him off to Jesus camp. But hes also being followed around by Jack Kerouac, whos incredibly annoying for a genius. If arguing with a dead beat poet doesnt qualify him for antipsychotics already, Nicks pretty sure Eden Springs is going to drive him insane. The campers ride donkeys into the desert, snap selfies with counselors dressed as disciples, and replace song lyrics with Bible verses. And somehow, only Nick seems to find this strange. Worst of all is the PC Box, into which the campers gleefully place daily prayers and confessions. With Jack nagging him to do it, Nick scribbles down his darkest secretabout his sisters deathand drops it in the box. But then the box is stolen, with Nicks secret inside of it. And when campers confessions start appearing around the camp, Nick is desperate to get the box backbefore the world learns the truth about what he did. The truth he cant even face himself. Laugh-out-loud funny, surreal, and insightful, this is an unforgettable novel about the strangeness of life, death, and griefand the even stranger things people do to cope.
