Disruption
Within minutes of arriving at the camp, however, Matt's nearly killed--twice. It doesn't take long for him to realize there's more to this picture-perfect place than meets the eye. What sort of summer camp has programs in forging passports? Why do they have endless fight training, and weapons drills, and what is with the hidden rooms? Matt wonders if his parents realize they've enrolled him in what seems to be some kind of freakish, elite spy school.
What Matt doesn't yet know - and is soon to find out - is that Camp Friendship's ultimate purpose is far more sinister than he could possibly have imagined. With each dot he connects, he begins to understand that in the end he'll be left with two choices: pull the prank of a lifetime to escape this place...or die trying.
The description of this book sounded like something I would love so I couldn't wait to read it. The beginning is a bit slow but things pick up and I was so hooked on this one and couldn't stop reading and I am so glad I kept reading because this book is great . This book is very well written and I just can't wait to get my hands on book two.
Interesting quick readInteresting read not sure of the target audience is I suspect the young and naive who are still 10 feet tall and bullet proof like I was before I was drafted for the Viet Nam war before working for three letter entities and knowing the real pain of getting shot and beaten up. The book flowed well and was a real quick read.
I loved the main character, Matt. He was cocky and belligerent to start but then was thrown into this camp situation by his parents in an effort to help him change his ways. He was so out of his element. I liked how he didn't just suddenly fit in and become the hero. He got the snot beat out of him. The book kept me interested all the way through. Very enjoyable.
I think I am a little too old for this book? I thought that the story was grabbing but the characters were only alright. The mystery was not the worst I've read, but I just couldn't get into it.There were two main issues I had with Disruption:One: The Implausibility:Personally, I found it a little too much of an Alex Rider wannabe. I mean, the CIA holding spy training camps? Well that isn't that unbelievable, I guess, except the part where the campers are children. Also, if these kids are meant
Matt Cambridge is your average fourteen year old, until he pulls a prank that almost kills an auditorium full of people (but only almost so it doesn't matter).His parents aren't too happy about that, and his dad gives him an ultimatum: to go to Alaska to live with his aunt, or to a camp that his father snuck him into.At this camp, called Camp Friendship, Matt is hella confused.The kids and activities are anything but normal, and Matt finds out it's a camp for future spies.-Crappy synopsis, but I

A great young adult novel, that my grandson and granddaughter enjoyed very much, as well as myself. Matt starts growing up a bit towards the end, that shows how young adults are. Totally enjoyable story, that had all of us reading together. Loved having something we could all share. A wonderful fiction story, that is not to be missed. Received a free copy, that was a pleasure to reviewThe description of this book sounded like something I would love so I couldn't wait to read it.
