Central Oregonian - Prineville, Oregon (358 words)
Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara) return for Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams where they find themselves competing for the top mission assignment with fellow spy kids Gary (Matthew O'Leary) and Gerti (Emily Osment) Giggles.
Gary and Gerti are the children of Donnagon (Mike Judge), who is in a competition of his own, competing with Carmen and Juni's father Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) for the title of head of the spy agency.
As the film moves along, Carmen and Juni find themselves looking for a lost island, one where no gadgets are useful.
