Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some comps to my upper MG novel. Here's a short blurb. If you have anything that's in the same vein, tackles themes in the same way, etc. I'd love to hear them! Been searching for a while now and nothing seems to really connect. While I have a YA novel that would compare, at least atmospherically, an agent probably wouldn't be the biggest fan of comps outside of my genre.
When technological giant, Cray Corp, sends a group of teenagers to summer camp through a portal, fourteen year old Jacoby’s struggle with acceptance and self-worth immediately amplify. An overgrown forest stretches for miles with no cabins in sight. To make matters worse, this place isn’t even on Earth. A voice speaks from the darkness, telling them they’ll have to navigate across this strange new planet, Trinity, and find a hidden portal if they ever want to get back home. To force the teens to participate in their experiment, leaders at Cray Corp ignite the forest, sending Jacoby and his friends running for their lives.
Moments from death, Jacoby is rescued by a shrouded outsider, but this salvation comes at a cost. With so many lost to the flames, other survivors question why Jacoby, of all people, would be saved by this stranger. Some even believe he’s working with Cray and is involved in their current turmoil. Now, as Jacoby wrestles with the value he brings to his group, he must also prove his innocence or be left to wander this new world alone, where fearsome beasts and natives seek to take his life. That is, if the other survivors don’t kill him first.
