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?

Bottomley-Blunt. These things just happened, even though they had

Dit is vakansietyd: die weer is heerlik en almal geniet hulle gate uit buite. So, waar is Greg Heffley? Binne-in die huis besig om videospeletjies te speel met die gordyne toe.
Greg, 'n selferkende "binneshuise persoon", ervaar sy heerlikste vakansiefantasie: geen verantwoordelikhede en geen reëls. Maar Greg se ma se idee van 'n perfekte vakansie is nie dieselfde nie. Sy glo aan buitemuurse pret en "gesinstyd".
Wie se idee gaan wen? Of sal 'n nuwe toevoeging tot die Heffley-gesin alles verander?
This heart-warming story is about Bella, a 13-year-old girl in
Tampa, Florida, in the 1930s. Her grandfather is a "lector" at a
cigar factory, which means he reads fiction, newspapers, and union
news to the workers as they roll cigars. Being a "lector" is an
important role in their Cuban American immigrant community. But the
hard times of the Depression mean that Bella must go to work in the
factory. Her hope of getting the education a "lector" needs seems
impossible.
Kimber Delaney is the seventeen-year-old flaky and endearing editor
of the Westfield High School literary magazine. Her wealthy,
handsome, two-faced boyfriend Lou is giving her nothing but grief,
while her pot-smoking brother and sulking father are driving her
crazy. Troubles are contagious during this senior year at Westfield
High, and all of Kimber s friends are afflicted. Fickle Deena
misses her collegiate boyfriend Phil madly and constantly pines for
him. Bodacious Martha gets into more trouble than she can handle
and has to be rescued by Lou, Mr. Suave and Heroic. Meanwhile,
Jason has a fervent and not-so-secret crush on Kimber and anyone
else who looks his way. All this makes for a great state of social
and romantic upheaval. New beaus, old flames, and straying loves
all add to the intrigue. As the Senior Prom approaches, the lives
of Kimber and her friends turn into a complicated web of love,
jealousy, loyalty, betrayal and confusion. On prom night, all is
chaos: dates break up, fights break out. But later in the night, at
a reunion on the beach, Kimber and her friends all reach important
conclusions on life and love, vowing to put romantic conflicts in
perspective and value their friendship and youth while they can."
