Maureen Johnson’s “The Box in the Woods” is an intriguing and entertaining return to her Truly Devious trilogy.
Stevie and her housemates Nate and Janelle are offered counselor jobs at a summer camp where four teenagers were brutally murdered in the 1970s. Told from both the point of view of characters in the current day and the past, the mysterious of Camp Sunny Pines begin to unravel towards a shocking conclusion.
I would give this book four out of a possible five stars for its fast pace, thrilling mystery, and Johnson’s ability to integrate familiar characters into a new and interesting environment.
