K-Gr 2In this easy-reader version of the Cam Jansen series, the young detective uses her photographic memory to help her friend Eric find the locker key he lost while ice skating. Both the vocabulary and complexity of the story are suitable for children a year or so younger than fans of the original series. The bright, full-color drawings that illustrate every page will have readers searching for details they may have missed. Before starting the story, willing participants are encouraged to test their own visual memory by trying a simple exercise. An adequate addition.Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Booklist Review

Gr. 1^-2. A smart child detective with a photographic memory solves the mystery in this cheerful friendship story, the latest Young Cam Jansen title in the Viking Easy-to-Read series. This time the setting is the ice rink, where Cam's friend Eric loses the key to their locker. With a clever twist, Cam finds the key; and words and pictures draw the reader into looking closely at exactly what is happening. --Hazel Rochman
