The book is about Cam and Eric who were in the community center when the Babe Ruth baseball disappeared. One reason why I like this book is when Cam said 'click,' she remembered all the things she saw. Another reason that I like this book is Cam is only in fifth grade and she is already a detective."-- Zhi YinHalethorpe Elementary"I enjoyed the Disney fairy tale 'Beauty and the Beast.' I think the illustrator made the pictures beautifully.
