About this book
Cam Jansen and her best friend Eric head to Camp Eagle Lake for three weeks of sports, crafts, and campfire fun—and three puzzling mini-mysteries. With her famous photographic memory (“Click!”), Cam pieces together clues that others miss while Eric provides steady help and humor. Short chapters, clear clues, and lively illustrations make this an inviting pick for newly independent readers. Kids love the fast pace, relatable camp setting, and the satisfaction of solving each case alongside Cam.
