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.

The governor, who is running for president, is visiting for the dedication of a new library. Police officers, Secret Service agents, photographers, and news reporters are all there to hear the governor speak when . . . bang! A loud sound like a gunshot startles everyone during the ceremony.
