Summary: This book is about it being Valentine's Day at school, and Cam, Eric, Danny, and Beth are really excited. There are cookies and heart decorations, but then a visit from Eric's mother. She tells them that Cam's mother is about to give birth and so she came to pick them up from school. She takes Cam and Eric to the hospital. In the excitement in the waiting room, there is a robbery, they discover that Mrs. Shelton's purse is stolen. When she is talking to the nurse at the desk, a doctor with no name tag walks by. So Cam has to track down the thief and get back to her mother in time to see her sister. Using her photographic memory, Cam is able to find the thief and get the purse back before her Valentine’s Day sibling is born. In the end we find out that Cam did not only get a little sister, but also a little brother!
My Reaction to the Book: This is another Cam Jansen book that I loved, especially with it being around Valentine’s Day. It was a cute book, and another great mystery to read.
Potential Problems: There is a robbery in this book, which could be a problem. But everything else was great.
Recommendations: I would definitely recommend this book to anyone; it is a very entertaining mystery story for kids. It is also a good story for kids to read if they are expecting a new sibling.
