Anyone who is a fan of Gordon Korman will like this book.
Thank you Netgalley for the audio version (the arc audio states this is not the final voice and is just a synthetic voice). Once you get past the bland voice it is a great book. This will change when a final narrator is selected.
I’m reviewing this from a middle grade perspective (which I love this genre anyway).
I think 5th-8th graders would love this book even if they just saw the cover and didn’t know who the author was.
Jett is a spoiled rich kid who is sent to an Oasis to “better himself”. He hates it, but he has to be there. There are no electronics and only vegan food. He becomes “friends” with some of the camp kids and they find a little reptile whom they name Nibbles. They are breaking all kinds of camp rules by taking care of this reptile. Secrets are exposed and friendships are made as Jett exposes the deep rot within the camp.
