Nine times out of ten, my boys will ask me to pick something for them to read. I’m not quite sure why they prefer me to choose, but hey, I’ll take it! And let me tell you, I take the job seriously. I don’t want to give them something they don’t like, making reading feel like a chore to them! So I’m on a mission to read as many of the children’s chapter books I have at home (and there are seriously hundreds) in the hopes of giving them good, personalize recommendations. It’s almost baseball season and my 1st grader’s reading skills are growing like crazy and I think he will be ready to graduate to chapter books soon. So I thought I would start my quest with this book. I’m going with 4 stars because each chapter ends with a nice hook that will keep the reader coming back for more. The vocab is a little challenging, but not so challenging as to deter a young reader. The chapters are short and succinct. The mystery is clearly explained and the logic is easy for a young reader to follow. I will be putting this on the recommendation list for my 7 year old.

*Please Note that the following review is the general review on the Cam Jansen Mysteries*
I loved this series as a kid. I believe I was about 6 to 8 when I read these books and it would be the beginning of my love of mysteries. Cam Jansen, about 10 years old, uses her photographic memory to solve mysteries. They remind me of Agatha Christie novels but for children beginning to read chapter books. I would call these one step above the easy readers.

Read this book with one of my reading groups. This group had a third grader and a fourth grader and we each found the book to be kind of boring and predictable.
