Plot summary
The main character, Sarah Maas, feels depressed while vacationing at Camp Cold Lake because of the coldness of fellow campers Briana Carduner, Meg Cornfoot( who is Sarah's friend), and Janice Stein (who calls herself Jan), and the many water safety rules. She decides to pretend to drown during a swimming lesson and, in a dream, discovers a ghostly girl named Della Raver who died drowning in the lake. When Sarah wakes up, she finds out that the ghost from her dreams is real and wants to force Sarah to be her friend forever by playing deadly pranks on her.
Eventually, Sarah discovers that Della didn't die from drowning in the lake, but rather from being bitten by a snake. Della tells that she ran away from camp because she, like Sarah, disliked the many water safety rules, but the woods she fled to were teeming with poisonous snakes. She wanted to make Sarah afraid of the lake and run away to the woods and get bit by a snake and die.
Briana comes and saves Sarah by grabbing the snake and tossing it away. She explains that Della tormented her last summer and she returned to camp to protect Della's next victim. Briana tells Della that she also will return the next summer and protect the next girl. Della screams and then vanishes, possibly forever.
It is then revealed that Della killed Briana last summer on the last day of the camp and Briana is a ghost who intends to protect every victim of Della. The book ends with Briana saying she didn't become Della's buddy simply because she didn't like her, and holds up a snake to kill Sarah and make her her friend forever.
