Chapter 1
After Chapter 1, what do you know so far about Cam Jansen, Eric, and the mystery involving the Babe Ruth baseball? What details seem most important?
-
Chapter 2
After Chapter 2, how does Cam use her memory or careful noticing to help understand what is happening? Give one example from what you read.
Example answer: Cam uses her special memory by stopping and thinking carefully about what she has seen. She acts like the pictures are still in her mind, which helps her look for details other people might miss. I think this is important because a mystery can be solved by noticing small things, not just big clues.

Chapter 3
After Chapter 3, what is one question you have about the mystery? What clues or information make you wonder about it?
-
Chapter 4
After Chapter 4, choose one character from the chapter. What does that character’s words or actions show about their personality?
-
Chapter 5
After Chapter 5, what prediction can you make about how Cam and Eric might get closer to solving the mystery? Use evidence from the story so far.
Example answer: I predict that Cam and Eric will compare the clues and figure out which detail does not match. Cam usually remembers things very clearly, so I think one of her memory pictures will help. Eric may also help by asking questions or noticing something Cam can use.

-
Chapter 8
After Chapter 8, what is your opinion of the way the mystery was solved? What part was most satisfying, surprising, or interesting to you?
Example answer: I liked the way the mystery was solved because Cam had to think carefully instead of just guessing. The most satisfying part was seeing how the clues fit together at the end. It made me feel like paying attention really matters when you are trying to solve a problem.
