Adorable cover! I really disliked the audiobook’s narrator so I had to download the ARC from Netgalley. I enjoyed the premise of this book: rich kid needs to unplug to find out who he is and wants to be. I would have liked a bit more personal growth, but really enjoyed the idea behind it. I believe we all need to unplug more in our lives. It’s a good message for kids. Thanks Netgalley for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

Revisiting one of my favourite authors from when I was in middle school! Glad to see he's still got it. This was a fun summer romp. Some of it felt predictable but the fact that I could see where things led doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the journey there.

Unplugged by Gordon Korman was a middle grade read about a group of kids who become connected due to needing to disconnect (#seewhatididthere) at a "wellness' camp. Each kid finds themselves there for a different reason, and these are revealed as the story goes. The kids also start to realize there are some interesting things happening at camp, and all is not what it seems. They realize they must band together to make it through, and they band together even more so to discover the truth of what's really going on with the adults and activities who are there. This is one of those stories I could see kids totally digging as it has some unexpected twists in relationships and in what's actually going down! Let's just say, there's more to that lizard on the cover than I would have ever guessed, and that's part of the thrill of this one!

Funny at some parts but just not for me. Didn’t feel like I got any real character growth or clear moral/message until the last chapter. Things tied together too quickly.
