From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unteachables,
Gordon Korman, comes a hilarious middle grade novel about a group of
kids forced to "unplug" at a wellness camp--where they instead find
intrigue, adventure, and a whole lot of chaos. Perfect for fans of
Korman's Ungifted and the Masterminds series, as well as Carl
Hiaasen's eco mysteries.
As the son of the world's most famous tech billionaire, spoiled Jett
Baranov has always gotten what he wanted. So when his father's private
jet drops him in the middle of the Arkansas wilderness, at a place
called the Oasis, Jett can't believe it. He's forced to hand over his
cell phone, eat grainy veggie patties, and participate in wholesome
activities with the other kids, who he has absolutely no interest in
hanging out with.
As the weeks go on, Jett starts to get used to the unplugged life and
even bonds with the other kids over their discovery of a
baby-lizard-turned-pet, Needles. But he can't help noticing that the
adults at the Oasis are acting really strange.
Jett is determined to get to the bottom of things, but can he convince
everybody that he is no longer just a spoiled brat who is making
trouble?
