Publisher Description
Some people would die to have the perfect picture
Derrick, the new kid at Boulder High, seems a little strange. Maybe he’s just shy, or marches to the beat of a different drummer, but he gives Cynthia the creeps. He’s got talent with a camera, though, and quickly earns a spot in the school photography club with Megan, who has been having strange dreams ever since he arrived.
When the pretty girls Derrick photographs for the school paper begin getting sick, Megan realizes his camera can do more than take spectacular photos—it can actually kill. And Megan is not immune to Derrick’s control. Can she stop him before she becomes his next victim?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The high school's most popular girls are suffering from a mysterious disease and only Megan knows that nerdy Derrick is responsible for their illness. Derrick has come to despise the pretty girls he photographs for the school paper. Driven berserk by snubs both real and imagined, Derrick invents a camera that has the power to take life. After a series of tedious adventures, Megan succeeds in ridding her town of the satanic shutterbug. This comes as no surprise, for the odds are stacked heavily in Megan's favor: not only is she smarter than almost everybody in the book, she's a psychic to boot. So much is spelled out at the beginning that there is little to tempt the reader to finish this predictable exercise in low-grade horror. Ages 12-up.
