Wonderful teen-mystery, set at a wellness camp for adults and children. As a rule, screens are strictly prohibited, but something strange is going on. 

Loved this! Really fun characters, and an interesting story. A little bit like Holes, but maybe more mature. 

Korman sets the scene for a long while, but lays the foundation for the mystery to pick up speed a little later than you'd expect in the book. Don't let that stop you.

Highly recommend!

This was really fun. It was quirky and fun.

The ending was so unexpected. I was actually worried for a bit. It's a big feat for a middle-grade book.

I was provided a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
A lot of this book, I didn't really know what the plot was. It was just about a spoiled rich kid being sent to a camp where all the electronics are taken away, they eat healthy and meditate. When we finally figured out where the book was going, I really did enjoy it, but up until then it was very average.
Jett was quite annoying, but that was his character, being spoiled and rich. The other characters were kind of bland to me. I think it may have been the audiobook narrator though. I didn't really enjoy the narrator. He used the exact same voice for all of the characters and the way he talked and put emphasis on some words was just weird and made it hard to listen to at some points. So I really had no idea who's POV we were listening to unless someone said the name.
I loved Needles and how the kids took care of it (him?). What Needles actually ended up being and how he tied into the "big reveal" at the end was really fun and something I completely wasn't expecting. The ending was super fast paced and exciting.
I think I would have enjoyed this more when I was younger, but overall it was a really cute and fun book!
