This leads the authorities to investigate God's Promise. Cameron tells the officers who come to investigate that the camp's entire mission is to make the kids hate themselves, but God's Promise carries on. Cameron, Jane, and Adam plan to leave God's Promise. After finals, the three of them take a hiking trip but keep going until they reach Quake Lake, and Cameron finally finds closure with her parents' death. "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" received mostly positive reviews. Susan Carpenter of the "Los Angeles Times" called Danforth a "talented wordsmith" with "impeccable phrasing but emotional and visual clarity, drilling down into individual moments and dwelling there in slow motion to help readers experience Cameron's hopes and fears." Teen novelist Malinda Lo wrote that Danforth's writing style in "Miseducation" was "multilayered in the best way, with a gradual, deliberate accretion of details that creates a resonant whole." A review in "School Library Journal" offered praise for the writing and sense of place that "Miseducation" evoked while also criticizing the pacing and length of the novel. On November 18, 2016, it was announced that Chloë Grace Moretz would star as Cameron Post in a film adaptation of the novel. Desiree Akhavan directed and co-wrote with Cecilia Frugiuele. The film co-stars Jennifer Ehle, John Gallagher Jr., Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Melanie Ehrlich and Quinn Shephard. The film was first shown January 22, 2018, at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize, the festival's highest honor.
