When four girls are accepted to a prestigious summer camp, they quickly realize that one of the teachers is hiding something … in their food.
Every single day in every single meal, Srirupa, Teresa, Margaret, and Caroline are served some variation of Smeat—a processed conglomeration of meat byproducts, in a can. The Smeat was donated by Mrs. Todd, the CEO of Smeat, Inc., and also the camp’s most popular teacher. Not only does Mrs. Todd refrain from eating Smeat, but the girls soon start to see a dark side of the hyper-perfect teacher. Srirupa, Teresa, and Margaret become convinced that something is amiss. But Caroline, in her quest for success, will do anything to get on Mrs. Todd’s good side, even if it means abandoning her friends and ignoring the frightening truth about Smeat.
"Camp Smeat" may best be described as a Soylent Green meets Nancy Drew mystery and was also influenced by The Baby-sitter's Club, Hoot, and Holes.
