Survivor meets Lord of the Flies in this fast-paced adventure with fascinating characters and pulse-pounding tension. You think it's a game? Think again.

High school senior Riley Ozment is desperate to change her reality after making a fool of herself on social media. She needs to do something drastic to repair her social standing—like trying out for a Survivor-style reality TV show. Suddenly, Riley's dropped onto a deserted tropical island with nineteen other teens competing for a million dollars and a rumored treasure lost on the island.

But that treasure has a history: a local curse says that seven people need to die before the treasure can be found. And six hunters have already lost their lives in the search. Now the question is: who will be the seventh?

With a cast of vivid characters who will stop at nothing to win the show, a cursed island setting, and a priceless treasure waiting to be discovered, The Girl Who Knew Too Much pitches readers right into a scheming web of lies, love, and betrayal.

A fast-paced new thriller where allies may not be who they say they are and legends abound, perfect for fans of young adult mystery and suspense!

      A rich teen hopes that participating in a reality TV show set on an uninhabited Brazilian island can rehabilitate her damaged reputation. Twenty teens are dropped on deserted Black Rock Island, where they will compete in two teams for a cash prize and the chance to find a long-lost stolen Inca treasure. Riley Ozment knows all about the treasure, as her godfather was the last hunter to get close to discovering it--in fact, she visited the island with him shortly before he was murdered. She sees this trip as a chance to prove herself to the world after a series of mistakes led to her suspension from her private school and the very public humiliating fallout when she tried to defend herself. But Riley's plans are upended by back-stabbing, double-crossing, mysterious accidents, and her own inner demons. This thriller mixes the ins and outs of filming a reality show with a mystery, a side of romance, developing friendships, and, above all, Riley's journey of self-discovery. However, the convergence of all these disparate storylines doesn't form a cohesive whole, and the supporting characters are not as well developed as the protagonist. Interestingly, Riley is unlikable for her na�vet� about her privileged background but still sympathetic as a teen girl finding her place in the world. Riley is assumed White; other competitors are described as being "Indian, African American, [and] Asian." An uneven novel that is as flawed as its protagonist. (map) (Thriller. 14-18)
