Camp 30 by Eric Walters
Camp 30 is the sequel to an excellent book named “Camp X.” In Camp X, there are two very curious boys that live in a small town near a very secret spy training camp for World War 2 soldiers. Naturally the two boys find their way into the secret camp. They make friends with the owners of it, and learn and do a few very important and scary things.
This book starts right after Camp X. The boys and their mom move to a new town for safety reasons (You have to read the books to learn more.) In this town there is a POW camp containing German soldiers. The mom of the kids gets a job at the POW camp, and makes friends with the owners of the camp. The kids follow along with their mom to the camp and get to know some of the people there.
The head of the camp employs the boys, and they learn how open-ended the camp is. The boys can’t believe how much of a sense of happiness there is in the POW camp. There’s an armload of clubs for the prisoners to join, like a skiing club, a gardening club and much more! The reason for the overwhelming kindness for the prisoners is because Canada complied with the Geneva Convention, which states that all prisoners cannot be tortured, and must be given proper nutrition. Some of the prisoners can even walk out of the gates!
Nothing big has really happened yet, but I predict that the boys are going to get into trouble with the prisoners.
The author of this book, Eric Walters is an immensely good author. He knows how to make things interesting without being old fashioned (the books he writes are usually about current topics.) Whenever he does write a novel that is based on history such as this book, he knows how to write it.
From the things I’ve read so far, I can tell this is going to be a very good book. I highly recommend Camp X and Camp 30 to you.
