About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing unfairness at school or expresses a desire to solve problems in their own community. It is an ideal choice for the young observer who feels a strong sense of justice but needs a gentle introduction to the concept of civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. The story follows Cam Jansen, a girl with a photographic memory, as she investigates the disappearance of a fund for school skylights during a Green Day event. Beyond the mystery, the book models how to stand up for the truth while remaining a supportive member of a school group. It addresses themes of honesty and accountability in a way that feels empowering rather than preachy. Parents will appreciate the clear, accessible prose and the way it encourages children to value their unique cognitive strengths, like attention to detail, to help others. It is a perfect bridge for early readers moving into independent chapter books.
