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 to school. It’s the first day of fifth grade, and Cam and Eric have just met their new teacher, Ms. Benson. The school day has barely begun when two policemen come and arrest Ms. Benson!
