Joshua, age 12, is perpetually late and sent to a camp specializing in helping time-challenge children. Upon arriving, Joshua finds boys and girls far too enthusiastic about punctuality. Cult-like elements surface—Joshua’s the only camper not brainwashed. He hears a campfire story about a ghost that haunts the grounds. Even more frightening, he encounters Seber (12), a girl trapped in her shadow. She tells him children who know too much disappear. Joshua and a bunkmate, Mario (12), discover they are telepaths. Like all late children, they have dormant mental abilities, which the camp is activating, especially Joshua’s power to send objects through the timestream. The camp has a dark secret, somehow connected to sightings of multiple ghosts and Seber’s strange existence. Someone is plotting to exploit Joshua’s unique abilities and steal the camp property and kidnap the campers. Time is running out for Joshua to solve the mystery of Late Camp.
