Worry Whart's Viral Summer — John D. Harris

A born worrier and friendless loner, Isaac -Whart- Newton is blessed with an awesome memory. Otherwise, he is a typical teen who is just trying to survive his cruel incarceration called high school. The recent threat of his parents' divorce has supersized his worries. Isaac and a group of teen campers become stranded on a remote Hawaiian island when a plague-like illness strikes Honolulu. Their quarantine prods Isaac to friend two campers: Chuck becomes his wingman and Kalani develops into a major crush. Exploring the island for food, Isaac and Chuck discover a journal that may be an outline for a fictional story. Or does it describe actual bioterrorist attacks, targeting Honolulu and four additional US cities? Able to sneak only a quick peek at the journal, can Isaac remember and communicate enough details to authorities in time to prevent a nationwide spread of the viral plague? Or will one of the terrorists hiding on the island stop Isaac, permanently putting him out of his worries? Hang with Isaac to share his adventure and witness his outcome.
