The Goats by Brock Cole 192 pages
I didn't like the book, bulling is the main topic.
the victims are resourceful, but still bullied into a possibly life threatening situation. The number of things that could have happened is to scary to think about. I don't recommend the book unless a kind and understanding person is available to talk with the young person reading it.

The boy and the girl are stripped and marooned on a small island for the night. They are the "goats". The kids at camp think it is a great joke; it's an old tradition. No harm is intended, but the goats don't see it that way. They want to disappear. To disappear completely. And they do much to everyone's surprise.
