1-3Cam Jansen Adventure series.
Illustrated by
Joy Allen.
At a fundraiser for a new firehouse, a guest nabs the hostess's pearl necklace during an elevator ride. Per usual, girl detective Cam Jansen draws on her photographic memory and quick thinking to find the thief. Not-so-usual is the book's interesting back story about Cam's memory skills as a toddler. Black-and-white illustrations show Cam on the case, sporting a cute plastic fire hat.
