Camp Cannibal

This second book in 'The Tribe' series follows Spencer Pendleton, a middle schooler grappling with expulsion, an absentee father, and a lost love. His quest to reunite with Sully leads him to Camp New Leaf, a seemingly ordinary camp for 'troubled' boys that quickly proves to be anything but. Spencer uncovers that the enigmatic and potentially dangerous 'Tribe' is actively recruiting new members within the camp, planning to expand its influence. This fast-paced adventure explores themes of loyalty, peer pressure, and standing up against a powerful group, making it suitable for readers aged 9-12 who enjoy suspenseful mysteries with a touch of realism.

Since being expelled for giving the Greenfield Middle School student body an "explosive" case of food poisoning and sent to live with his father, Spencer Pendleton hasn't exactly been doing his best to put the past behind him and settle into his new life. What with losing the girl-of-his-dreams, Sully, and gaining a there-but-still-absentee father, his life still has a few kinks to work out. And when his single-minded quest to track down the Tribe and reunite with Sully lands him at camp New Leaf, Spencer is convinced things can't get much worse. WRONG! Not only is Camp New Leaf no ordinary camp, but it appears that the Tribe hasn't laid the past to rest, either. And what better place to catch up with an old member-or recruit a few new ones-than a secluded camp for "troubled" boys. With rebellion in the air, Spencer must find a way to stop the Tribe's plans to put down roots and expand its ranks before someone gets seriously hurt-or worse.
