![]() ![]() While the majority of the plot focuses on a game in which each group becomes a country directed to keep their people alive and their nation thriving, of course, we have additional scenes of abseiling ridiculous cliff faces, competitive orienteering and who are we kidding, everything is a competition, as well as personal relationships, pranks, and secret parties and gossip. There are several other groups who, while often relegated to the background, still play their part to showcase diverse and eclectic teenagers. ![]() The first half of the book is seen through the eyes of Finn, the intermediary captain of her public school, leading the laziest and slackest group of smart kids ever, and the second part by Willa, a scholarship student at an elite private girls’ college, where the aim main is to win. I’m pretty sure we have all experienced a camp like that. In Future Leaders of Nowhere, a collection of over-achieving high school seniors are selected to spend four weeks in a rural camp, playing leadership games and participating in outdoor activities. Her characters are well developed, and the situations, setting, and plots are interesting and fresh. This is my second Emily O’Beirne book, and I wish more people would discover her.
