Horn Book Review

When Governor (and presidential candidate) Zellner arrives to dedicate the new school library, thieves simulate a gunshot sound to disrupt the program and steal the library benefactor's pearl necklace. Cam beats Zellner's Secret Service agents to the punch--solving the case with her super memory and help from class clown Danny. It's boilerplate fare, but Cam's fans will gobble it up.

Booklist Review

Among the honored guests on hand for the dedication of the new school library are donors Mr and Mrs. Pearl and Governor Zellner, a presidential candidate guarded by four Secret Service agents. When Mrs. Pearl's pearls are stolen, detective Cam takes on the case with her usual flair. Readers can depend on this beginning chapter-book series for a clever story illustrated with plenty of black-and-white illustrations. In a nice twist at the story's end, class-clown Danny is surprised to find himself honored as a hero and pleased to be sharing the spotlight with Cam. --Carolyn Phelan Copyright 2006 Booklist
