Add a CommentThis is a wonderful read which I would definitely recommend to all ages. I read it four years ago and I found myself coming back to re-read it over and over again. For sure one of my favourite books.
This entertaining and informative books keeps readers on the edge of their seats the whole read! Loved this must read book
I love book 1 because its so exciting and I love how the boys keep going at a the end even though they might of gotten caught or died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Camp X (2002), Camp X Series book 1 – entertaining and informative, excellent Juvenile rated book. This book should appeal to young boys in particular. Doctor-at-Bass! Taylor A.
My congratulations to Canadian author Eric Walters on yet another very entertaining book. While Juvenile rated Camp X (2002) – Camp X Series book one is a fiction, it does inform young readers about a little Canadian History. While the characters and their experiences are imaginary, there was a Camp X during World War II. This author has a knack for writing some of the strongest introductory pages in a book that I have ever seen; introductory pages which immediately capture the reader`s interest. Senior Doctor-at-Bass! D. A.
This book is AMAZING!!!!!! I liked how the brothers used their quick thinking to escape but then at the end they had significant injuries.
This book is both exiting and a bit funny it is an awesome book!!!!!
I love these sieres. I like how the book is about history and it's not boring. Also, I like how how you could relate o the book a lot. How much books are there in these sieres???
This is an awesome book about Camp X which was a secret spy training camp by Lake Ontario. Two kids stumble onto it by accident, and get themselves involved in a plot to destroy a munitions plant. I've read almost all of the series and they are ALL AWESOME! (but this one and Shell Shocked are my favorites)
i relly enjoyed this book and i liked the idea of boys my age being spies for the allies and being so useful. i also like how the author ties in that strange sibling connection that there is in real life "no one insults my little bro except me" even though it's so incredible and a fiction novel it's seams like it's real or deffinitlly could be.
