Project 17 by Laurie Faria Stolarz (Paperback, 2009)

High atop Hathorne Hill, near Boston, sits Danvers State Hospital. Built in 1878 and closed in 1992, this abandoned mental institution is rumoured to be the birthplace of the lobotomy. On the eve of the hospital's demolition, six teens break in to spend the night and film a movie about their experiences. For Derik, it's an opportunity to win a filmmaking contest and save himself from a future of flipping burgers at his parents' diner. Behind the crumbling walls, they will unravel the mysteries of those who once lived there and the spirits who still might.
