Cam, her friend Eric, and her mother are visiting a city museum when a woman lets her pet snake out of a bag on the museum steps. Mrs. Jansen is videotaping the children and, in surprise, turns the still-running camera toward the incident. Then her camcorder is stolen. When they find it, the tape is missing. Then they see the video of the incident on TV for the "News Scoop" contest and go to the station to track down the thief. This is an easy-to-read chapter book that solves a believable mystery in a satisfying way. Black-and-white line drawings enliven the text.?Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT

Cam Jansen and the Scary Snake Mystery
The title of this book is called "Cam Jansen and the Scary Snaky Mystery." I like this book because it solves mystery. The first mystery is about the loose dog.The second mystery is about the stolen yellow bag with a camera inside.I think the third graders should read this book if they like to slove mysteries.This book is a very good book.
