"Peg Toland and her father Sam plan a camping trip to Mexico that turns out to be a fight for their lives. Sweet Friday Island is the planned destination, but two strangers, Raul Clemente and a very old woman, inform them that the island is not a good place to go. Peg and Sam decide to head to their planned vacation anyway and ignore the warning.
Camp is set up on Sweet Friday so Peg and Sam go for a swim. After a few hours they return to camp to fid missing items, their boat damaged, and Peg's clothing with knife holes. Their camping items that were taken could be considered weapons i.e. axe, fishing spear, knife. Unexplainable was Peg's missing makeup bag. Sam attempts to repair the boat with no success. They wished now, that they had listened to the stranger's warnings.
As the day continues, Peg and Sam realize there is someone out to get them. Peg nicknames their tormentor "Senior Psycho". Senior Psycho throws huge spiders down on them. He howls in the night, trying to get them to emerge from their camp area so he can squash them with boulders. In the day while searching for the psycho, Sam sprains his ankle and could barely walk. To top this all off, Senior Psycho takes Sam's shaving kit tatter holds all of his insulin and syringes needed for his diabetes. Without his insulin shot, Sam would soon be in a diabetic coma and death would follow shortly after.
Peg knows she must take action. With her father slipping into a comma, she plans to get the insulin back to save his life. Before he became useless, Sam made gas bombs to use on Senior Psycho. He took the two glass jars they had, filled them with motor oil, and inserted a fuse made of braided cloth. Peg prepared to use them. She followed the psycho into a small hidden cave, which she found was his home, and threw gas bomb in after him. When the smoke cleared she entered the cave cautiously and found Senior Psycho on the ground. He appeared to be dead so she grabbed the insulin and ran back to her father. Desperate to save him, Peg gave her father the shot. Not knowing how much to put in the syringe, she filled it three quarters of the way and hoped for the best. Sam slowly came to and Peg burned their damaged boat, hoping someone would come save them.
Raul Clemente and the old woman came to the island and were furious to see Peg and her father. They told the couple that they should have listened to the warning and they knew bad things were going to happen. Raul ran to the cave and dragged Senior Psycho out and onto the boat. He was not dead after all! Raul assisted Peg and Sam, with their belongings, onto the boat as well. They returned to the mainland.
Five or six years later, Peg continues to have nightmares about the trip. She sees a psychiatrist who tells her over and over to return to Mexico. Eventually she does and speaks to Raul. They talk and he informed her that senior Psycho was his father and the old woman was his mother. He said that they were both dead now. Senior Psycho was on Sweet Friday hiding from the police. He killed a man a long time ago and was insane. After talking a while Raul apologized for the events that occurred on Sweet Friday. As she left Mexico she felt better, knowing the truth about the crazy trip her and her father had taken."

This was a summary from a book review from a website (link is below in "source" section). Spark notes did not have any info. regarding this book. This was the best summary I could find :)

you already know, i'm no longer caught up with modern mainstream, yet a large type of what I heard has made me scream in affliction in public (and that i DO get a large type of unusual stares) I possibly will butcher up some spelling and names Rihanna: Umbrella. ella ella hella i'm gonna strangle you. O-city: Liquid desires. even whilst i take advantage of to take heed to all that bubblegum pop, that music made me recoil in soreness. Scissor Sisters: conveniently Numb. and that i assumed Korn killed Floyd covers. Avril Lavigne: female buddy. no longer purely does the lyrics advise no longer something, and the music replaced into undesirable, the whole music replaced into actually the 1st 30 undesirable 2nd on repeat and finally... CRANK THAT Myabe it is so undesirable simply by fact my college had a Crank That matters dance, all human beings in my college knows the dance and my college's superb step crew sank so low to easily do a habitual to that music.
