From a Dows Laner

Here is what my 7-years old has to say about the book. Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the U.F.O. by David A. Adler is a story about how Cam Jansen and her friend Eric Shelton solved mystery of U.F.O. In a cold afternoon before a junior photography contest Cam Jansen helped Eric to shoot photographs, which must be from real life, according to the contest rule. They came across Neptune, a missing kitten and saved her from the tree. Eric shot a picture of Neptune eating somebody's groceries. When they went to investigate a mysterious U.F.O. spotted by others, they discovered the U.F.O. was actually balloons hooked up to flashlights and creatures from outer space were staged by Bobby, Cindy and Steven to win a prize. But, in a rush, Bobby's car crashed his own camera and film (too bad!) while chasing Neptune. Finally, Neptune's photo won an honorable mention on TV! If you are interested in mysteries, this book makes you feel you are in it. An excellent book for readers in second grade or older.

Clever and well written

I read this a long time ago. All the Cam Jansen books are greatfor kids. This one was interesting and clever. There were parts thatcracked me up, like when the Cam discovers the people posing as aliens from outer space and the "space people" are trying to get away. That was so funny!

There's a photography contest!

Who expected that they would get a picture of a U.F.O.!?!? But is it really a U.F.O.? Follow along with them while they figure out what's going on. You'll have a lot of fun.
