The Distance Between Lost and Found by Kathryn Holmes

Hallie (Hallelujah) Calhoun is having a miserable time at her church's youth camping trip.  Her former friends taunt her about a recent incident, ruining her trip and her self-esteem.  She leaves the hike with two others and they become hopelessly lost.  Hallie must find her courage and her voice to, literally, save herself.

While there's nothing suspenseful or unique here, the misery of the lost teens comes through convincingly.  The ending wraps up too neatly, but most readers will be invested enough to keep reading to see the rescue, the aftermath and the changes in characters.
