Korman is a fantastic storyteller who I whole-heartedly recommend. Unplugged was a great middle grade story. I also couldn’t get over the fact that Tyrell, who seems to be allergic to everything at Oasis, keeps being forced to attend. One thing I (personally) didn’t like was bugs frequently being brought up. Jett’s father is interesting as he’s a highly intelligent inventor and tech billionaire who’s inventions have revolutionized and connected the globe in a way that I can see happening in reality in the future. I love Needles, a lizard, they end up secretly taking care of.
I love the adventure these kids suddenly find themselves on. All four are well-rounded and likable characters. And Brooklynne’s a mysterious loner who just wants to be like everyone else and make friends. Tyrell, unfortunately plagued by several allergies, wishes he was braver. Grace lives and breathes everything Oasis stands for and is a no-nonsense rule follower. Jett’s behavior I think is in part from a lack of parental attention/nurturing, so for him bad attention is better than no attention all. I enjoyed getting to know these characters who grew so much over the course of a wild adventure, each overcoming personal challenges. Unpluggedis told through alternating POVs, mostly Jett, Grace, Tyrell, and Brooklynne’s. It’s an alluring place to send a spoiled, rich, troublemaker like Jett Baranov, one of the main characters, to reinvent himself.
Oasis of Mind and Body Wellness is a health program that focuses on fostering healthy lifestyles and habits through meditation, nutrition, and exercise. I like that the story takes place in a camp-like setting.

Jett is determined to get to the bottom of things, but can he convince the other kids that he is no longer just a spoiled brat making trouble? But he can’t help noticing that the adults at the Oasis are acting really strange… And also Brooklynne, a girl who definitely seems to be hiding something.Īs 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. Then there’s Tyrell, who suffers from a dizzying list of food allergies that render him constantly itchy. She thrives in the wellness atmosphere and resents Jett’s terrible attitude. He’s forced to hand over his cell phone, eat grainy veggie patties, and participate in wholesome activities with the other kids.Īt the Oasis, he meets Grace, who is his polar opposite. So, when his father’s private jet drops him in the middle of Little Rock, Arkansas, at a wellness camp called the Oasis, Jett can’t believe it.
