Spy Camp is the 2nd addition to the Spy School series, and this book is amazing! One of the many reasons I love the book is because the tables can turn so quickly, and something you might never had suspected to happen, would happen. This book is also so enjoyable to read because sometimes the book will foreshadow, and will drop hints in the book, allowing you to also act like you really are an actual spy, and solve this whimsical mystery.
