    Derik needs a way to get out of flipping burgers at his family's diner. He finds a film-making contest for a reality
    channel, and decides to go for it. It is the eve of Danver State's demolition, a supposedly haunted mental institution.

    Derik and five of his peers break into the asylum, so Derik can film his documentary. All seems well at first, but then
    the place starts messing with them. As the teens explore the asylum, they find things, and unravel mysteries of the
    patients that once lived there.

    And perhaps some of them are still there - somehow.

    This book was great. I am fascinated by the paranormal, so that element of the story pulled me in. It was hard to put
    down. The characters were strong, and they all fit in well with the story. The plot was great.

    If you are interested in the paranormal, like me, this book is for you, but I would recommend PROJECT 17 to
    anyone.
