Description

A wild, laugh-out-loud adventure through the not-so-great outdoors, from the author of HOW TO ROB A BANK and THAT TIME I GOT KIDNAPPED. Ideal for readers aged 10 and up.
After Will is caught listening to music on his phone in class again, his mum has had enough. Will is sent to a rewilding camp in the middle of the woods for kids addicted to tech Disaster.

Not only is the camp a screen-free snooze-fest, Will realises he has accidentally taken something of his brothers that he must return urgently. And with no way of contacting him, Will and his three new friends plot to escape the camp in the middle of the night, and embark on a ridiculous journey through the woods.

The hapless heroes must make it back to civilisation in time to return Wills smuggled cargo and avoid being defeated by the great outdoors in the process
