Oh, No! Say it ain't so, Cam Jansen!
30 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The real Cam Jansen books are a wonderful series! They are clever, include humor, fun and intriguing characters, and provide a good time for any reader with good 2nd and 3rd grade reading skills.
BUT this ain't that! This is a poor and paltry imitation. Books for young readers can *still* be enchanting, funny and smart.
This book is NOT. It's a dull, rote-sounding, contrived story completely *free* of charm and whatever that magic thing is that intrigues a young reader and compels them to read on.
I teach kids who can't read well, and do it online, so I buy lots of Kindle books. I bought this one. It's not even worth using. My students wouldn't be "caught up" by it, and in fact would probably say to me, "What? Huh? I don't get it."
Don't spend your money on this one! Try "Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew"Sleepover Sleuths (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #1) if you want your child to be delighted. It is girl-centric, involves affluent girls only, and they're white at that, but at least it charms the reader.
The writing is GOOD. In fact, two of my students have been SO charmed that they're on #2 and #5, and it's all good.
Best of luck, happy reading to your kids, and all the good karma I can muster is being sent to kids all over the world for happy reading experiences. :D
P.S. I'm on a campaign trying to get more authors to allow their books to be sold as ebooks. If you too need this to happen, please help me out and tell others! Thanks so much from The Kids and Miss Paula. :)

Great for a beginning reader
6 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
This may not be a good book to read aloud to your kids as it sounds sort of odd given the reading level.
However, it is an excellent book for beginning readers. My kid loves Cam Jansen but is not quite at the readig level of the original series. She is so proud she can read this book and Cam Jansen was the hook that got her to read.
