Play Pals: At the Hospital

...UND AUCH SO BITTERKALT.Elijah ist ein Einzelgänger, der mit seinen Eltern in einer Hütte im Wald lebt. Er kennt keine Handys und kein Internet, aber er weiß, es ist nicht richtig, dass in dem Keller unter der Erde ein Mädchen gefangen gehalten wird; er weiß, er sollte jemandem von seiner Entdeckung erzählen. Aber er weiß auch, dass sein Leben aus den Fugen gerät, wenn die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt. Denn Elissa ist nicht die Erste, die in den Mädchenwald gebracht wurde. Elissa ist klar, dass ihr nur mit Elijahs Hilfe die Flucht gelingen kann. Doch alle Versuche, den Jungen zu manipulieren, schlagen fehl. Elijah ist sehr viel cleverer, als er zu sein vorgibt. Und er hat längst begonnen, das Spiel nach seinen Regeln zu spielen.
