Thirty young adult children of foreign diplomats go to a lakeside summer camp in upstate New York. The YA adventure is a coming-of-age story with a strong romance between Kay, a native Canadian Mohawk girl and Thomas, the son of Kenya’s ambassador to Washington. They share a common passion for music. One of the young adults is a Saudi prince. The FBI has discovered a plot to capture him for a ransom, so FBI agents are assigned to guard him. With four new friends they are assigned a hut and tent. The 3 boys gather wood for the evening fire while the 3 girls spear fish in the lake for supper. They are having a great time then Hans, a racist, is nasty towards Thomas. During a a table tennis match the prince’s ornamental dagger is stolen: it turns up in Thomas’ bag. Kay reports all this to Suzy, a friend in New York where they both live. Tweeting is quite new in 2008, but Kay’s little TwitterBug does a great job. Tweets are fully explained. Two of their friends have sex together in a vacant hut while Kay and Thomas find they are falling in love. They decide to go for a walk down the road outside the camp. This is when trouble starts. They are in real danger, but Kay’s tweets are a lifeline in a tough situation. ( )
