Unplugged by Gordon Korman

Unplugged is a middle-grade mystery novel about the troublemaking son of a tech billionaire and his forced visit to a health and wellness camp in Arkansas called Oasis.
In Uplugged the reader follows Jett Baranov as he arrives as Oasis and realizes his dad hasn’t sent him to a five star posh resort but instead signed him up for a camp with a no-cell phone rule, vegetarian menu and daily meditation and hypnosis. Jett is predictably annoyed with the camp rules and menu and joins up with other kids interested in trips offsite to get candy and taking care of an non-sanctioned reptile pet called “Needles”. As Jett snoops around camp he starts to find things that don’t add up and maybe camp Oasis isn’t the haven of wellness it claims to be.
I think readers of all ages will enjoy this middle-grade adventure and mystery. It has enough laughs and plot twists to keep the interest of teen and tween readers but isn’t childish or silly.
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced audio copy of Unplugged in exchange for my honest review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Four stars
