Camp Zero, by Sean Ellis, is an intense book that I had trouble putting down. It starts as a story about children going to a survivalist training camp to learn to function in case of a catastrophe, such as the one that had occurred many years earlier. But the story evolves into so much more, and without giving anything away, we find the characters embroiled in much more than lessons. The story was fast paced and I liked how it shifted viewpoints with each chapter. It definitely left me wanting more and anxious to find out the resolution to the story lines in the book.
