Bushnell On Books, Morning Sentinel News Life in Cricket Cove, Maine, should be smooth sailing-unless you're John and Sam, two brothers whose summer plans are anything but ordinary. When their dad upgrades the family's boat with a shiny new outboard motor, the boys know exactly what it means: their chance to become real spies! After all, everyone knows real spies don't paddle-they speed through covert missions on powerboats, ready to outsmart the bad guys. But there's just one problem. Actually, a lot of problems. For starters, their parents aren't exactly thrilled with the idea of them zooming around the cove, and there's the small matter of not crashing into rocks-or the boat catching fire. Then there's the Johnson brothers, the neighborhood bullies who seem determined to ruin their spy plans at every turn. Join John and Sam as they embark on a summer filled with wild schemes, outrageous mishaps, and laugh-out-loud moments. From daring adventures to top secret meetings, they'll learn more than just spy tactics-they'll discover the true power of teamwork, forgiveness, and finding courage in unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Diary of A Wimpy Kid, Percy Jackson, The Wonder Years and Calvin and Hobbes, Real Spies Don't Use Rowboats is a heartwarming adventure packed with humor, imagination, and the ups and downs of brotherhood.
