Cam Jansen
For the second book in my 30 Chapter Books in 30 Days experiment, I chose a popular mystery series about a girl with a photographic memory. In this first book in the series, Cam and her friend Eric witness the aftermath of a jewelry theft in the mall. Naturally curious, they watch as police chase and arrest a man who ran from the scene. The problem? Cam is convinced that he’s not the robber. With her amazing memory, and some gutsy snooping, Cam and Eric uncover the real robbers. Overall, a nicely crafted, suspenseful mystery for young readers. Cam is a relatable, intelligent heroine who manages to perform extraordinary feats without any superhuman powers (well, except for that photographic memory).
