Then they've been informed that they will be moving to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowmanville Bowmanville]], Ontario, because their mom got a new job at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowmanville_POW_camp Camp 30]]. Apparently Bill's team intercepted a coded message revealing that the boys now have Nazi assassins on their tail, so they needed a change of scenery to keep them safe.

''Camp 30'' is a [[ChildrensLiterature Children's]] [[SpyFiction Spy]] novel by Eric Walters, and the sequel to ''Literature/CampX''.

Some time has passed since George and his older brother Jack [[Literature/CampX tried to help foil a Nazi attack on Camp X]], and life seems to have returned to relative normalcy, outside of no one being allowed to know what happened. They've returned to the paper route, and Jack's arm will be out of its cast soon. Still, it's so hard to believe the mortal danger they were in.

Then they've been informed that they will be moving to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowmanville Bowmanville]], Ontario, because their mom got a new job at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowmanville_POW_camp Camp 30]]. Apparently Bill's team intercepted a coded message revealing that the boys now have Nazi assassins on their tail, so they needed a change of scenery to keep them safe.

The boys soon find themselves with a new job as well: delivering mail to the prisoners in the camp, which they discover is practically a five-star resort for the prisoners (which is apparently done to discourage them from trying to escape, even though the prisoners are duty-bound to attempt). While there, they meet and befriend a German soldier named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Kretschmer Otto Kretschmer]], who becomes very chummy with them. Of course, he is still a German Soldier, and as much as he likes the boys, he still has his own plans, which the boys may have to foil.

The book was published on July 1st, 2005.

!!''Camp 30'' contains examples of:
* GildedCage: Camp 30 is pretty much this. The prisoners are allowed total freedom of movement, eat food that's rationed everywhere else for the war effort, and can even leave the prison unattended if they want because [[IGaveMyWord they promise to return]]. Of course, they still recognize that it's a prison, just a really luxurious one. Otto even outright calls it a "gilded cage".
