About this listen

 Anna-Jane couldn’t wait for camp. But when the outside world goes dark, she and her friends soon realize they’re in for the adventure of their lives this summer—and maybe even beyond.

"A nail-biter of a survival story." -Megan E. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of Alone and Away

Anna-Jane is thrilled to be back at Camp Chester—the one place she feels like she belongs. She’s excited to swim in the lake, read in her favorite chair, and swap secrets with her best friend under the stars. But not long after Anna-Jane unpacks her trunk, weird things start happening.

First, townspeople near camp begin disappearing. Then, the internet, cell service, and all other forms of communication are cut off. Soon, Anna-Jane and the residents of Camp Chester realize they are completely alone.

Or so they think. Across the lake, the kids spot a strange flashing light. And when animals begin turning up with yellowed eyes and disfigured limbs, it is clear the dangers are only growing. Most alarming of all, though, is the deepening distrust among the campers themselves, which could have deadly consequences. Anna-Jane knows what to expect from a summer at camp . . . but what happens when camp lasts well beyond the summer?

Captured in Anna-Jane’s diary, discover the poignant journey of a young girl’s fight to survive in the face of the unknown. Action & Adventure Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Poetry & Nursery Rhymes Stories in Verse Survival Stories

Critic reviews

★ "A true triumph of the genre, with gripping pacing, authentic characters, and a balance of coming-of-age and survival. Older middle grade readers will be riveted by this heartfelt thriller." —School Library Journal, starred review

"Classey effectively captures how the world feels like it’s ending during adolescence against a backdrop of a world that may actually be ending. Fans of Megan Freeman’s Alone will find much to enjoy. An intense and riveting read." —Kirkus Reviews

"Many aspects of this novel in verse will resonate with readers, especially tweens, as it never loses sight of the concerns or capabilities of the young people at its center. A survival story that lets science and compassion shine." —Booklist

"This is a worthy addition to apocalyptic fiction for the middle grade set, and readers will likely be deeply invested in Anna-Jane’s story." —The Bulletin

"Beware, this is not your average summer camp tale." —Leslie Connor, author of The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle, National Book Award finalist

"This one had me on the edge of my seat! I read it in one sitting." —Andrea Beatriz Arango, Newbery Honor winner for Iveliz Explains It All

"A gripping, un-put-down-able novel. One word of advice, though: you might want to read it with the lights on." —Tommy Greenwald, author of Game Changer and the Charlie Joe Jackson series

“Don’t let the classic summer camp vibe fool you; Anna-Jane and the Endless Summer quickly evolves into a nail-biter of a survival story....Provocative and scary, and sure to keep readers glued until the very last page.” —Megan E. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of Alone and Away
