Bookroo's summary

Cam Jansen, with her photographic memory, faces a puzzling theft on a city boat ride. A poodle with a jewel-encrusted collar disappears, leaving its owner heartbroken. Can Cam and her friend Eric unravel the mystery and catch the dognapper? Dive into this thrilling adventure where every clue counts and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

No mystery is too great for super-sleuth Cam Jansen and her amazing photographic memory! Mysteries follow super-sleuth Cam Jansen everywhere she goes…even on a boat ride. Cam and Eric are enjoying a boat trip around the city when there is an onboard theft. A poodle who wears a jewel-encrusted collar is gone, and it looks as if she was stolen. Can Cam catch the dognapper and return the missing pooch to her heartbroken owner? The Cam Jansen books are perfect for young readers who are making the transition to chapter books, and Cam is a spunky young heroine whom readers have loved for over two decades.
