CAM JANSEN AND THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN DIAMONDS

The main character in this popular adventure series, Cam Jansen, is a spunky girl with a photographic memory. She uses her mental pictures ("click!") to solve mysteries. Here, Cam and her friend, Eric, puzzle over how diamonds were taken from a nearby jewelry store. The capable Christina Moore narrates the tale; her Cam and Eric are fully engaged in solving this mystery, and other incidental characters (the nice young couple and an elderly woman) sound authentic, too. Moore creates a strong feeling of suspense that will capture the imaginations of young listeners, who will collect clues, eliminate suspects, and guess "whodunit" along with Cam. J.C.G.
