Green Darner Press Releases Teen "Scream" Novel 7/20: Author Stacey R. Campbell Talks Scary School Lunches

On July 20, Green Darner Press will release Stacey R. Campbell's "Scream"—a teen thriller with evil school cafeteria staff at its core.

Seattle, WA, July 18, 2015 --(PR.com)-- On July 16, Southern California Public Radio Station 89.3 KPCC reported that a recent Los Angeles Unified School District audit has revealed mismanagement of school food services. On the heels of this disturbing news, comes Stacey R. Campbell’s “Scream,” a teen thriller with corrupt school food service staff at its core, which will be released by Green Darner Press Mon., July 20.

“Oh yeah and there’s a reason the food sucks...I’ll bet the garbage they’re serving us isn’t even prison grade."—"Scream"

This third novel in Campbell’s Young Adult "Lakeview Series" finds its heroine, Halle Henry, kicking off her senior year with the perfect boyfriend, perfect roommate (his twin sister) and the prospect of getting into the perfect college—all of which become endangered when her boyfriend Alex witnesses a murder and ends up expelled for drugs planted in his backpack. Faced with uncooperative adults, Halle devises her own plan to corner the culprits using all the high-tech electronic equipment and methods at her disposal from full-on Internet, social media and digital tools to ordering spy stuff off Amazon. Halle joins forces with an unlikely ally—Alex’s edgy roommate Wyatt—as they set out to bring the real criminals to justice and bring back Alex in time for graduation. But can they keep from getting killed in the process? And almost as important: Can they find out why the school cafeteria is so bad?

Campbell confirmed that the idea for "Scream" came out of her own boarding school experience: "After a year of complaining about the school’s food, they found out the school cook had been skimming from the school’s food budget to supplement his cocaine addiction."

The "Scream" launch party is scheduled for August 11 in Seattle where Campbell is based with her husband and three daughters. Details may be found on her author's website.
