I read a number of the Cam Jansen mysteries when I was a young girl, enjoying them quite a bit, so when I started a project recently to familiarize myself with chapter-books intended for children who have just graduated from leveled early readers, I decided to start with them. I don't recall reading Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Monster Movie back then, but picking it up now, I was greatly amused by the somewhat surreal nature of Shoe Escape, with its frightening narrative of shoes leaving people's feet and congregating together. In fact, the adult reader in me was far more entertained by this unlikely film 'classic' than by the mystery itself, which was easily resolved. The target audience will no doubt find it more engrossing however, and it is to them, and to fans of the series, that I would recommend it. ( )
