Synopsis: It’s summer on Ferris Island, Washington. Now freshly sixteen, Ivy Cole is thrilled to finally be old enough to volunteer as a staff trainee at the Fort Ferris State Park where she spent happy summers as a camper. Side by side with her friend Bailey, she can’t wait to balance new responsibilities with summer fun in the sun, until some strange events in the acres of dark woods threaten the safety of staff and campers alike…events that have an eerie similarity to scars in the island’s past.
Ivy’s blossoming connection with Ferris Island and its hidden supernatural denizens puts her in a prime position to step in, but can she really help?
Or is the evil lurking in the summer woods too powerful for her to face on her own?
