The book follows Nancy as she tries to find the missing camera, only to realize that Lauren's mother had wrapped it in one of Lauren's sweatshirts for safekeeping. This book is realistic fiction because of the protagonist, Nancy, having a special gift of being able to solve mysteries. Children reading can relate to her because she is presented as a regular girl, but she has a gift. This book is great for early chapter book readers to use because it is part of a series, so there are more books that are already familiar to the reader if they like show more this one. The media used for this book is pencil. show less
"Dagarna på sommarlägret var verkligen spännande! Här fick Kitty och kompisen Bess hitta på allt möjligt - från att bada i sjön till att leka i den fantastiska trädkojan.
Men en dag händer något konstigt. Lauren, en annan flicka på lägret, blir av med sin nya och jättefina kamera. Och allt pekar på att någon stulit den.
Ett fall för detektiv Kitty Drew, alltså!
Men fallet visar sig bli knepigare än hon först anar..."

Carolyn Keene was the pseudonym that Mildred Wirt Benson and Walter Karig used to write Nancy Drew books. The idea of Nancy Drew came from Edward Stratemeyer in 1929. He also had other series, that included the Hardy Boys, but he died in 1930 before the Nancy Drew series became famous. His daughters, Harriet and Edna, inherited his company and show more maintained Nancy Drew having Mildred Wirt Benson, the original Carolyn Keene, as the principal ghostwriter. During the Depression, they asked Benson to take a pay cut and she refused, which is when Karig wrote the books. Karig's Nancy Drew books were Nancy's Mysterious Letter, The Sign of the Twisted Candles, and Password to Larkspur Lane. He was fired from writing more books because of his refusal to honor the request that he keep his work as Carolyn Keene a secret. He allowed the Library of Congress to learn of his authorship and his name appeared on their catalog cards. Afterwards, they rehired Benson and she wrote until her last Nancy Drew book (#30) was written in 1953, Clue of the Velvet Mask. Harriet and Edna Stratemeyer also contributed to the Nancy Drew series. Edna wrote plot outlines for several of the early books and Harriet, who claimed to be the sole author, had actually outlined and edited nearly all the volumes written by Benson. The Stratemeyer Syndicate had begun to make its writers sign contracts that prohibited them from claiming any credit for their works, but Benson never denied her writing books for the series. After Harriet's death in 1982, Simon and Schuster became the owners of the Stratemeyer Syndicate properties and in 1994, publicly recognized Benson for her work at a Nancy Drew conference at her alma mater, the University of Iowa. Now, Nancy Drew has several ghostwriters and artists that have contributed to her more recent incarnations. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
