"What wrongdoer is any match for Cam Jansen, the girl with the amazing photographic memory?" ( Booklist) "An uncluttered plot, a clever heroine, clear language, and a dash of humor make for a zestful mystery."(School Library Journal)

From the Publisher

Click! Cam Jansen’s photographic memory notes the winner of the dime toss game, and again, and again, until she realizes there is something familiar, actually similar, among the winners. Portrayed by the consistently excellent Christina Moore, Cam and her friends come to life as they try to help out at the fifth-grade carnival and solve the mystery at the coin toss game. In youthful tones Moore clearly differentiates the students, giving each a unique voice. She builds the tension and suspense as Cam and friends figure out what’s going on. Fans of mysteries for transitional readers will enjoy this offering, read by a master storyteller. W.L.S. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
