Camp Spirit by Axelle Lenoir and Michel Falardeau

Camp Spirit by Axelle Lenoir & Michel Falardeau

Summer 1994: with just two months left before college, Elodie is forced by her mother to take a job as a camp counsellor. She doesn’t know the first thing about nature, or sports, of kids for that matter, and isn’t especially interested in learning… but now she’s responsible for a foul-mouthed horde of red-headed girls who just might win her over, whether she likes it or not. Just as Elodie starts getting used to her new environment, though — and close to one of the other counsellors — a dark mystery lurking around the camp begins to haunt her dreams.
