you.”

    The man turned. He turned again and faced Mr. Day. This time he nodded. Then he reached back and held up a soccer ball.
    “Yeah!” Eric said. “Cam solved another mystery.”
    “Thank you,” Mr. Day and Ms. Benson said to Cam.
    “I’ll wait here,” Ms. Benson said. “I’ll get the ball when he brings in the boat.”
    “Let’s go,” Mr. Day said. “Let’s finish the game.”
    Ms. Benson waited by the edge of the lake. Everyone else returned to the soccer field. Now that she had solved the mystery, Cam was able to pay attention to the game. She even kicked the ball, but she didn’t score a goal. Still, Ms. Benson’s team won the game 2-1.

    The Baseball Glove Mystery

CHAPTER ONE
    “What did you bring for lunch?” Eric asked Cam.
    Cam unwrapped her sandwich.
    “Cream cheese.”
    “Yuck!” Danny said. “That’s so dry.”
    “Well, I like it,” Cam told him.
    “It has lots of calcium,” Mr. Pace said. “It’s good for Cam’s bones.”
    Cam, Eric, Danny, and Danny’s father were sitting at a picnic table in Franklin Park. Beth, Hector, and others from Ms. Benson’s class were sitting with them. After lunch, their principal, Dr. Prell, would speak to the fifth graders about eating good food and getting lots of exercise. Then they would play baseball.
    “Hey, cream cheese is dry and here’s a dry joke,” Danny said. “I say ‘Knock knock’ and you say ‘Who’s there?’ Okay?”
    Eric nodded.
    “Knock knock,” Danny started.
    “Who’s there?” Eric asked.
    “Orange,” Danny answered.
    “Orange who?” Hector asked.
    “Orange you glad I’m telling jokes?” Danny answered.
    “I’m only glad,” Beth told him, “if the jokes are funny.”
    “Okay, Beth. Here’s a funny orange joke. Why did the orange lose the race?”
    Beth shook her head. She didn’t know.
    “It ran out of juice,” Danny said. “That’s why it lost.”
    Beth smiled.
    “Okay,” she said. “That was funny.”
    “All this juice talk has made me thirsty,” Cam said.
    Hector told Cam, “Ms. Benson said she has drinks for us. She’s at the table with Mr. Dane, Mr. Day, Dr. Prell, and Mrs. Wayne.”
    “It won’t be soda. That’s for sure,” Danny said. “I’ll bet it’s some drink with vitamins and healthy stuff.”
    “My dad calls soda ‘sugar water with bubbles, ’” Hector said. “He won’t let me drink it.”
    Cam and Eric went to Ms. Benson’s table.
    “What would you like to drink?” Ms. Benson asked. “You can have orange juice, milk, or water.”
    Cam chose water. Eric took orange juice.
    Dr. Prell told Cam to take something from a large tray of sliced fruits and vegetables. Cam took a carrot stick. Eric took apple and orange slices.
    Mrs. Wayne held an open bakery bag in front of Cam. “Take a muffin. Cam Jansen caught a thief at Zelda’s Bakery and Zelda gave us lots of muffins as a reward.”
    Cam reached into the bag. She took an oat bran muffin.
    “Oh, my,” Mrs. Wayne said. “It’s you. You’re Cam Jansen! You’re the clicking girl!”
    “Click!” Cam said, and smiled.
    Eric took a corn muffin.
    “Muffins are no fun,” Danny said when Cam and Eric returned to their table. “But memory quizzes are. Cam, click and close your eyes. I’ll quiz you.”
    Cam looked at the people at her table. She blinked her eyes and said, “Click!” She looked at the people at the other tables, and on the benches. She looked at the signs by the tables, too. Cam closed her eyes and said, “Click!”
    “Yesterday,” Danny asked, “what did I wear to school?”
    “Hey, that’s not fair,” Eric said.
    Cam laughed. “I remember. You wore a T-shirt that said, ‘My Sister Did It!’”
    “That’s real funny,” Danny said, “because I don’t have a sister.”
    No one laughed.
    “Okay,” Danny said. “What color is Beth’s shirt?”
    “Green,” Cam told him. “Her shorts are blue and her sneakers are white.”

    “Yes,” Beth said. “These sneakers
