Crater Lake
(17 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Firefly Press
There are three rules for surviving Crater Lake: don’t go anywhere with an adult; don’t follow any instructions you’re given; and don’t ever fall asleep…
When Lance’s class arrives at the brand new Crater Lake activity centre for their school trip, it’s immediately clear something is not quite right. Aside from a weird lack of staff and a very odd manager, there’s also the panicked man covered in blood shouting at them all to run.
And it’s not long before the teachers and other kids in his class start behaving strangely too. Like Zombies, they get out of bed and, spaced-out, start marching into the woods at midnight. As they’re unaffected, it’s up to Lance and his friends to uncover the cause – and find a way to stop it. But time is ticking, they’re exhausted, and if they fall asleep, then all will be lost…
Crater Lake is a fast-paced, high action read full of suspense, scares, twists and turns. Alongside the action, there’s witty dialogue and a strong message about staying loyal to your friends and how to stand up for yourself against bullies, whether they’re mean kids, monstrous teachers – or even body-snatching aliens. Immensely enjoyable; light and dark perfectly balanced.

I loved this book because the genre suited what I liked. I also like that 2 school enemy's have to work together. I love the plot and also think that the villain/monster of the book is very creative. 5 stars, worth a read.

So far I really like this book because there were two students who were enemy's, but now they are working together and I really like that idea.

I am really enjoying this book so far. It is full of adventures and also some really creepy things happen. The two main characters have been rivals for over a year but now they must work together if they are going to save their class mates. It is fast paced and it makes the reader wonder what will happen next.

I really love this book because it mixes several genres together ; it has it's humorous side but it also is a little bit suspenseful and mysterious. It is also great because i can relate to some of it in places, for example a residential school trip!
