Whisper in the Woods

By Laika Wallace

A boy who thinks he's the only strange thing in the world, and a girl who knows that she isn't...

The first instalment in the Shimmering Lake Summer camp series, Whisper in the Woods follows Ronnie and Morgan, two teenagers with turbulent home lives, as they attend the first session of a summer camp focused on helping troubled youth connect to each other, themselves, and the world around them.

Ronnie has just been through a traumatizing event that he can't understand, and is being left in the dark about it by his own mother. Meanwhile, he struggles to piece together why he's been raised to believe he and his mother are the only vampires in the world.

Like most things in Morgan's life, going to camp was sprung on her without her consent, but it gets her away from her painful home life and offers a glimpse into the world of Silent Woods, where she, a werewolf, might find more belonging than the suburbs of Ottawa.

But there's more to the camp than what anyone is telling them, and a long standing conflict is bubbling up in the lake...

Trigger warnings for this story include: abusive parents (verbal), parent death, physical assault and flashbacks, mental health struggles, animal death on screen, transphobia.
