Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Three adolescents at camp convince a naive girl they can cure her “curse” (really her first period) if she does everything they say. Ten years later, they find themselves the target of an actual curse that mirrors the torment they inflicted upon her.

When blood began to run down Dara Lund’s legs at summer camp, she thought she was dying. Homeschooled by her conservative and protective father after her freespirited mom’s mysterious death, Dara has no way of knowing her bunkmates' claims that she has been stricken by a curse aren't real! What follows is a week of torment under the guise of "lifting the curse," from carrying a fish head with her to sprinting naked through the camp, finally culminating in Dara's near death! But the curse "ends," and so does the summer, sending them all their separate ways.

10 years later, the campers have gone into the world as adults, embarking on careers and lives of their own. When strange and horrific recreations of the torments they inflicted upon the naive girl begin happening in their own lives, her three campmates must reunite to track down the source of their own curse... the vengeful Dara!

Born of the political discourse around the discussion of menstruation in schools in America, Flow explores a rite of passage through the eyes of a sheltered young girl and the rage that boils up when she is betrayed by those around her. Written by celebrated television and comic writer Paula Sevenbergen (Stargirl) and illustrated by Claudia Balboni (Killer Queens), Flow is an exploration of guilt, shame, bullying, and the horror and wonder of the human body sure to appeal to fans of Carrie and Yellowjackets.
