Bookroo's summary
Cam Jansen attends a comedy contest where her Aunt Molly is performing. Amidst the laughter, an engraved silver plate prize disappears, turning the audience into suspects. Can Cam unravel the mystery before the Joke House erupts in chaos?
From the publisher
What’s a contest without a prize? Aunt Molly has entered a joke-telling contest at a local comedy club and Cam, her best friend Eric, and Mr. Jansen are in the audience to watch her perform. The prizes are exciting, but the competition is stiff –there’s a prop comic, a knock-knock joker, and more! As the show starts, Cam notices that one of the prizes, an engraved silver plate, has disappeared. Suddenly, everyone in the club becomes a suspect. Can Cam solve the mystery of the missing prize or will she be laughed out of the Joke House?
