Synopsis
Longing to be one of the popular girls in her new town, Kammie Summers has fallen into a well during a (fake) initiation into their club. Now Kammie’s trapped in the dark, counting the hours, waiting to be rescued. (The Girls have gone for help, haven’t they?)
As hours pass, Kammie’s real-life predicament mixes with memories of the best and worst moments of her life so far, including the awful reasons her family moved to this new town in the first place. And as she begins to feel hungry and thirsty and light-headed, Kammie starts to imagine she has company, including a French-speaking coyote and goats that just might be zombies.
Karen Rivers has created a unique narrator with an authentic, sympathetic, sharp, funny voice who will have readers laughing and crying and laugh-crying over the course of physically and emotionally suspenseful, utterly believable events.

From the Back Cover
The first thing everyone says to do in emergencies--earthquakes or house fires or if, say, you fall down an abandoned well out in the wasteland behind town--is to stay calm.
“Stay calm, Kammie,” I tell myself. My voice echoes up the dusty tunnel to where The Girls are, safe on high ground.
“HELP!” I scream. “MANDY KANDY SANDY!”
No one answers me, but I know they are there.
Unless they went to get help. That’s it. They went for help.
Meanwhile, I am thoroughly wedged between the damp, rough walls of this stinky old well.
I try to breathe slow, in and out. In and out.
In and out. My heart beats. Nothing is broken, at least I don’t think so. So I guess I’m OK.
I am OK.
I will be OK.
OK?
