YMMV / Return to Ghost Camp

• Moral Event Horizon: Ari crossed it when he took the time to actually gloat that Dustin was going to die instead of him, and then threatened his brother to keep his mouth shut.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Noah and the ghosts haunting Camp Full Moon have been trapped in the camp ever since they were killed by The Snatcher. It turns out every year they select a camper not to be The Snatcher's next victim, but to fight on their behalf so they can ascend to the afterlife. The trouble is, no one bothers to tell Dustin Minium (the kid they think is their selected champion) this until he's almost dragged into the monster-filled river by The Snatcher. For most of the book Noah, Uncle Lou, and the other boys made it sound as if Dustin was going to be a human sacrifice when he wasn't being scared shitless by some ghostly antics (such as kids drowning themselves, burning themselves in a campfire, or being shot at with arrows for target practice). The ghosts want to be free, but they do such a poor job of explaining themselves you have to wonder how many kids died due to The Snatcher or their own incompetence.
