About This Book
In 'Cam Jansen and the Mystery at the Haunted House,' young readers join Jennifer 'Cam' Jansen, a fifth-grader with an extraordinary photographic memory, and her best friend Eric as they tackle a new case. What starts as a simple chase after a wallet thief at an amusement park quickly escalates into a 'spooky' mystery involving a haunted house attraction. This book is an excellent transitional chapter book, perfect for children aged 4-11 who are ready for more complex plots but still benefit from a light tone and engaging illustrations. It encourages observation, logical thinking, and perseverance, all wrapped in a fun, fast-paced adventure.
Cam and her friend Eric chase the thief of Aunt Katie's wallet through an amusement park and find themselves involved in another case requiring their special detective skills.
