Bookroo's summary

At a community hobby show, Cam Jansen and her friend Eric stumble upon a mystery when a baseball signed by Babe Ruth goes missing. With her photographic memory, Cam must unravel the clues and catch the thief before the prized ball is lost forever.

Dive into this engaging tale where every detail counts, and young readers will be on the edge of their seats, eager to see if Cam can crack the case.
