Has your wallet ever been stolen? Cam Jansen and Eric Shelton are looking for Aunt Katie's wallet. While visiting an amusement park they go into a haunted house. In the darkness, Aunt Katie feels someone grab her. When they come out of the tunnel her wallet is gone. The mystery gets started.
I love the Cam Jansen books because they are scary and mysterious. My favorite part is when Cam sees an old lady sitting on a bench shaking with fear from being in the haunted house. This book reminds me of the time I went to a wax museum and I saw a maid with blood on her skirt and a farmer holding a knife. When I got out I could not move, I was so scared.
I recommend Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Haunted House to kids in grades one through three who like mysteries. This is a fun book to read. Sometimes the person you suspect is not the culprit at all. This book will keep you guessing to the end!
