Summary
Twelfth Night at Camp: A Diamond Hunt Adventure
Twelve-year-old Maren is convinced theatre camp is not her scene. It’s for the loud, confident, artsy types—like her sister, Hadley. And especially like her cinema-obsessed, nonbinary bunkmate, Theo.
But when a prank backfires, Maren finds herself caught up in the search for a legendary diamond ring. Rumor has it, the ring is linked to the camp’s namesake, Charlotte “Charlie” Goodman, a promising director from the Blacklist Era…

Critics Review
Praise for Twelfth:
A 2023 Bank Street Best Book
“Key does a good job of bringing in such topics as the 1940s Hearings Against Accused Communists in Hollywood and related “Lavender Scare” without letting history overwhelm the storytelling…and of allowing the book’s themes of gender and sexuality to develop organically.”
–The Horn Book*“Key weaves an intriguing mystery together with a sensitive exploration of gender identity, mental health, and family relationships in the historical and present-day settings.”–BCCB, starred review“Debut author Key constructs a well-paced treasure hunt, as much a mystery as a love letter to theater and its history… A layered, unexpectedly poignant mystery with over-the-top characters.”–Kirkus Reviews“Deftly comparing past and present, the novel explores themes of gender identity and sexual orientation during Hollywood’s “Lavender Scare” and today.“–Publishers Weekly“Film and theater lovers will particularly delight in frequent references and lore, but the sensational summer-camp mystery will easily appeal to all.”–BooklistAbout The Author

Janet Key was twelve, she sang and danced onstage, stayed up too late reading Shakespeare, and had a closet full of themed, handsewn vests. This is her first novel.
