K-Gr 2--In this easy-reader version of the Cam Jansen series, the young detective uses her photographic memory to help her friend Eric find the locker key he lost while ice skating. Both the vocabulary and complexity of the story are suitable for children a year or so younger than fans of the original series. The bright, full-color drawings that illustrate every page will have readers searching for details they may have missed. Before starting the story, willing participants are encouraged to test their own visual memory by trying a simple exercise. An adequate addition.--Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY
