This book was awesome
because: The kids in Cam and Eric’s school collected soda bottles and cans to
make money for their school to buy skylights, to use instead of electric
lights. Next, Cam, Eric, Ashanti and Michael won gold and green pins because they
collected the most bottles. Their teacher, Mr. Day, opened a wooden box that
they thought contained the money earned from recycling the soda bottles and
cans, but instead, it was filled with bricks! Then Cam,
Eric, Mr. Day, Dr. Prell, Officer Davis and Officer Oppen all tried to find the
thief. Cam found many clues on the way, including the key to
the mystery. Lastly, Officer Oppen and Officer Davis caught the thief and
arrested him. The next week, new skylights were installed in Cam
and Eric’s school!
