Spy camp

We have the same cast of characters as Spy School (mostly) and this is the summer after Ben goes to spy school.

I was annoyed at the constant poking at science and nerds as a bad thing, and I had trouble with the stated ages. How is Ben 12? The 12 year old thing is not right - he and his friends constantly engage in behaviors of older teenagers...even if they are not being super mature. The 12 year old thing is NOT made better by how often we are reminded of it.
There is some real cringe violence in this book - one kid takes another kid's tooth out (AND GIFTS IT!!).

The pacing of these books is pretty good, and the characters are not completely flat. But, I don't get the jarring parts.

This book is not on my recommend list, but I will probably catch myself reading the next one.
