Synopsis

With “an ever-rising tone of dread that builds to a terrifying crescendo” (Marcus Kliewar, author of We Used to Live Here), this unputdownable horror novel follows a teenager searching for answers about the mysterious events and disappearances that plague the wilderness camp for troubled teens he was sent to, taking survival and discipline to a frightening extreme.

Thirteen-year-old Ben is sent to an isolated reform program for troubled teens by a juvenile court judge. But when he arrives at the camp, located on the edge of the vast wilderness of northwestern Montana, he immediately recognizes that there is something weird about the counselors. They’re too friendly and upbeat…yet Ben can tell there’s an undercurrent of menace.

As he gets to know the boys in his cabin, he soon discovers that they each have far more going for them than whatever crime landed them there. And each has a different critical skill, one that could help them unearth what is really going on in this place—and how to make it out alive. They are inching ever closer to the truth, but the hidden evil beneath the camp’s surface will make itself known in order to deter them. Brooding, clever, and sinister, Wilderness Reform will keep you “in a vice-grip until the very end” (Matt Wesolowski, author of the Six Stories series).

First off, that cover! Am I right? It's fantastic! I had high hopes for Wilderness Reform. I thought it was going to be a slam dunk for me. It’s set in the wilderness, is a horror book, and the synopsis drew me in. Troubled teens are sent to a wilderness camp to learn teamwork, survival skills, disci......more

Oh, this was an amazing adventure! It’s dark and dangerous, yet holds so much hope for our damaged boys in this world. Ben and his friends were amazing – Ben was Iconic – and the evil they face was unique and terrifying. From the first page, I was completely enthralled and deep into the author’s world.......more

Goodreads review by Justine on March 01, 2025

I read the Query brothers’ debut novel, Old Country, when it came out. Even though the writing was pretty basic it's a compelling book I have not forgotten. Wilderness Reform shows a definite levelling up in terms of writing skill and pretty much cements the duo as having some storytelling chops. Ok,......more

Goodreads review by Mikala on September 20, 2024

Admittedly, this starts out at such a slow pace that it almost lost me, but it really kicks up towards the middle, and the ending didn't disappoint. Reading notes along the way... 11% so far, this is REALLY dull. A lot of exposition. 16% the writing style is a bit droning. It's told in third person (l......more
