    Aheart pumping thriller

    Feeling they have lost control as their sixteen years old child Anna continually defies them and breaks all their rules, the religious Wheelers turn to a radical solution. They hire ¿soldiers¿ from Camp Archstone to abduct their daughter and take her to a remote Bahamas Island for several weeks of boot camp. Anna thought her parents were too strict, but they seem permissive as she lives in a survival camp run in the strictest of military styles; insubordination leads to harsh punishment from the in your face 24/7 staff................ Anna fears her bunk mates whose behavior seems over the edge past sanity. However, her terror turns to outright horror when on a forced several miles hike up the mountain someone kills the leader; the others react just as frightened. Everyone panics with the girls fleeing into the jungle while deviant drug dealers pursue them with plans to rape and then kill the teens. To Anna the biggest fear remains her violent bunk mates who cannot understand teamwork is the only way to save their lives..................... BAD GIRLS is a heart pumping thriller that never slows down from the moment that Anna is abducted with the concerned unsure consent of her parents and never slows down until the final tropical jungle feverish confrontation. The story line feels like a gender bending Lord of the Flies crossed with female prison movies like The Big Doll House and The Big Bird Cage. Still this is an adrenalin action-packed tale with the audience rooting for Anna to survive her ordeal.................. Harriet Klausner

    A+ Great read and friendly author!

    I'm a Young-Adult Reader who thoroughly enjoyed this novel! Even though I read this book about a year ago, the plot and characters are still fresh in my mind. It has a very captivating plot that touches on alot of sensitive subjects. I really trust mtvbooks and love McAulay's other novel Lost Summer. I also cannot wait to read oblivion road! From reading Bad Girls, and Lost Summer, let me tell you that it is very clear that McAulay's style is very descriptive and interesting. I felt like I could see all of the characters and could detect their mannerisims. The endings of his books are fantistic and lead beyond the context of the climax which I really like. I wrote the Author some questions, thinking that he wouldn't never respond, but within a week, he had replied to my e-mail! he was very thoughtful and answered each of my questions with great detail, (as I had some questions with the plot and characters). I highly reccomend this compelling novel!

    A reviewer

    i only read books that are about teenagers and generally i would have given this book a glance and walked by it but i read the reviews for it and i read its summary and it looked amazing i read it and although it started out weird the book was amazingly written and i couldnt put it down i read it in a matter of 5 days its very well written but i think it ended weirdly, they should deffinately make a movie of it and a sequal.

    AN AMAZING BOOK!

    When I picked up this book, I thought it was like most 'girl' books. But I was completely WRONG. I was reading the book as if I was part of it. It felt as if I was in the Archstone camp, like I was there, participating. I could feel the pain, terror and disgust as I read. But I couldn't take by eyes off the book, let alone my mind. It was just an incredible book. The only thing that I didn't appreciate was the very L-O-N-G chapters...And I know if the author would have made shorter chapters it would have made a big mess. So if I were the author I'd keep everything in the book but just somehow move some things around to make the chapters shorter. YOU MUST READ THE BOOK!!!

    One of the best books i've read

    WOW. This book was so good. i got it last summer when i first came out and right now i am reading it for the 3rd time. it was just a really good book. almost every part of it is very surprising. Anna Wheeler is a really cool character. The only thing i didnt like was the very end on what she did when she saw her parents. I would only reccommend this book for 8th grade and up. it has the f-word about every other page. so get this book even if you think it isnt something you'd enjoy because you'll be VERY surprised. this book is very well written and makes you use your imagination. i loved it and i know you will too.

    Very unexpectedly good

    My friend and decided to read the same books for fun. I'd pick one, then she'd pick one, etc. It was her turn and she picked this one. At first glance, I thought, Not ANOTHER survival story. But this book was so good, I couldn't put it down. There are so many twists and turns. I recommend this book for anyone. It was really good.

    WOW!

    I am not a reader at all, but when I picked up this book I couldn't put it down for the life of me. I had to know what came next. This book is really great and a suprise ending. Although might not be appropriate for younger kids, it is really good and I would suggest this book to everyone if you like the suspence, mystery, chick flick books, it is your book. I loved it and thought it was the best.

    Fight for Survival

    Spooky thriller about teen girls fighting for survival, and each other, after hiking 'accident'. Great characters including the queen-b**ch Kara. The book says its like Mean Girls plus Lord of the Flies on the back and that's about right. I read it in two days on the beach and now my sister is reading it.
