Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Circus Clown
by David A. Adler
My rating: 4 / 5
Genre: Children’s mystery
My now-adult son read some of the Cam Jansen books when he was young, and I remember him quite liking them. I had never read any, so this was my first Cam Jansen book. I have to say, I understand the appeal. Though this is written for kids, the mystery is engaging—not too easy or too hard. And Cam Jansen herself is an interesting character, with her quirk of making a camera sound whenever she wants to store or recall a memory (hence her nickname: “Cam,” short for “Camera”). Set against the backdrop of a circus, this illustrated book would definitely be a fun early mystery for young readers.

Oh wow, I haven’t thought of this series in a minute! I remember it being a popular library checkout when I was in elementary school.
