Testing the Waters
Testing the Waters is set in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at a summer camp focused on environmental concerns. When several teens from diverse backgrounds gather together to explore the area, they discover animal deaths and deformities around a creek that resemble toxic poisoning.
Teens at a summer camp uncover a frightening sight at a creek bed that indicates toxic waste. A mystical figure guides them toward finding the answer to what caused it.
The teens take risks and defy authorities. They seek the help of an ambitious member of the press as well as that of a techno savvy camper who is ostracized for being dyslexic. One teen in particular, Reid Williams, has discovered months earlier that she may have inherited a psychic ability to see apparitions. These visions help her uncover the mystery of deaths and destruction of an otherwise pristine area of nature.
Throughout the novel, the "testing the waters" theme reveals conflicts and betrayals among the campers, but ultimately conveys a message of tolerance, persistence, and friendship.
