Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Stolen Diamonds

Cam goes to the mall with her friend Eric, along with his mom and baby brother. While they wait, the friends play a memory game, which Eric loses. During Cam’s turn, she wins easily because she has a photographic memory. This means that her mind takes mental “photos” of things that she has seen. Cam even got her name from her incredible memory. Her real name is Jennifer, but her nickname is “the camera,” which has been shortened to “Cam.”

As the kids wait for Eric’s mom, they rock baby Howie in the stroller and talk about their science fair projects. Suddenly, they hear an alarm at Parker’s Jewelry Store behind them. Cam stands up on the bench and sees a man with a mustache, wearing a dark suit, rush out of the store. Cam takes a mental picture of the man as he pushes past Eric and into the center of the store.

The man runs through crowds of shoppers, causing objects to go flying. As Cam watches the entrance, she sees a young couple emerge from the store. The woman is holding what seems to be a baby in a pink blanket, while the man holds a large baby rattle and tells the woman to walk faster.
