Reach for this book when your child is ready to graduate from picture books to mysteries but still wants a fast-paced, accessible story. It is an excellent choice for kids who take pride in their observational skills or those who feel a sense of justice when helping someone in need. The story follows Jennifer 'Cam' Jansen, a young girl with a photographic memory, as she and her friend Eric navigate a crowded airport to find a missing French girl. While the premise of a lost child might sound stressful, the tone remains light, focused on the puzzle-solving aspect of the search. It reinforces themes of teamwork and empathy without being heavy-handed. It is a perfect bridge for 7 to 10-year-olds who enjoy logic games, as Cam's 'mental camera' encourages readers to pay attention to small details alongside her. Parents will appreciate how it models independent thinking and the value of helping others in a community setting.
