Review: "Unplugged," by Gordon Korman

Twelve-year-old Jett is the son of the famous billionaire inventor of Fuego (like Apple) and is always getting into trouble. That's why his dad is sending him to a remote retreat in Arkansas for six weeks to get unplugged and "find himself." But what Jett actually finds is a group of kids who are hiding a secret lizard they found and he also uncovers a possible mystery going on with some of the retreat's employees. He teams up with the other kids to take care of their carnivorous lizard and sneak in food from a neighboring town. The hijinks and silly things that go on at the retreat make for really fun reading!
