Camp X

Camp X
Eric Walters

It's 1943 and with their Father fighting the Germans in Europe, and Mother working at an munitions factory, almost 12 year old George and his big brother Jack have most of the day to themselves. Their plan was to spend their summer doing Jack's paper route and inner-tubeing at the local lake until one night when they're running late and take a short cut to make it home in time, but stumble on camp X instead. They're told not to come back again, but when Jack's curiosity gets the better of him he drags George along to go back to the camp, and they both get involved with the mystery of camp X and the fight aginst the Germans. Jack is the courageous one, and isn't afraid of most anything (except mom). He loves adventure and a challenge. George not so much, he takes things more cautiously, and is happy to just sit back and mind his own business.

I would recomend this book, and think that Eric Walters is a great writer. It's filled with action, adventure, mystery, and suspense. I couldn'd put it down. The plot was easy to follow, but full of surprises. I liked it all the way through, and thought about how I would act in the position of the characters.
