Cam Jansen and the Catnapping Mystery is the eighteenth entry in David A. Adler's series of beginning chapter-book mysteries devoted to Cam and Eric's adventures solving crime. Like its predecessors, it features a thief, but unlike its predecessors, it also concerns a more serious crime, in the form of the catnapped Little Tiger, and the demand for ransom. Reading these as an adult, I don't find the mysteries particularly suspenseful, but I do recall enjoying them as a young girl, and wishing that I had Cam's amazing powers of recall. Recommended to Cam Jansen fans, and to beginning chapter-book readers who enjoy mystery. ( )
