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. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Kay and Tom, who are both 18, meet on a coach taking 30 young adult children of diplomats working in the USA to a camp in the NY Finger Lakes. Kay is a Canadian Mohawk. Her mother works at the United Nations. Tom's father is the Kenyan ambassador to Washington. With four others they are assigned a hut for the girls, and a tent for the boys. There they chop wood, spear fish, debate and sing round the camp fire. Kay tweets her friend Suzy about all that is going on. Another camper is a Saudi prince. Tom and Mohammed have been going to school at Eton College in England. Mohammed's expensive dagger is missing and Tom is accused of stealing it. The prince has an FBI guard because of a threat that he will be taken hostage. Kay and Tom share musical tastes. They play for each other and are quickly falling in love. Then, when out for a walk, men with guns mistake Tom for the prince and take them prisoner. Fortunately, Kay has brought her tweeter with her.
