A review by melhara
Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Gold Coins by David A. Adler

5.0

This was my first time reading a Can Jansen novel, and I really enjoyed it!

As Cam Jansen and her friend Eric Shelton were heading to school to attend their science fair project, they decide to stop and take a picture with a camera that Cam made for the fair. Later in the day, Cam's camera goes missing - but who would want to steal it?

I thought this was a pretty fun children's mystery novel. I particularly loved Cam's science fair project, especially since I also made and used a pinhole camera when I was younger! (honestly, developing the pictures is the hardest part of the entire process) I also really liked Cam's photographic memory and how it was used to help solve the mystery.

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away
