This entry in a popular beginning-chapter-book series finds 10-year-old Cam Jansen and best friend Eric attending Camp Eagle Lake, where Cam finds fun, friends d three unexpected mysteries. In the first, the campers' snack money disappears; next, Cam and her bunk mates try to find out who wreaked havoc in their cabin; the third concerns stolen sports equipment. Cam's photographic memory is instrumental in solving each mystery, and throughout, the accessible, lively story features humor, familiar camp activities, and diverse youth and adult characters. The mysteries are chronological but distinct, in separate sections with short chapters and periodic black-and-white illustrations. First-time campers will appreciate the camaraderie that develops through the three-week sleep-away session; new and returning readers will enjoy following Cam's recall process companied by her characteristic verbal "click!" A short "Memory Game" is appended.

Two more easy-to-read books based on episodes from the popular television series will satisfy readers who favor familiarity over subtlety. In one story, Franklin and his friends learn that they don't have to enjoy the same foods. In the other, Franklin discovers that eating too fast leads to hiccups. Both stories are predictable and the art only serviceable.
