Hi, Sarah. I remember my sister had one of the Cam books...her name was Cam
Jansen or some such thing, I do believe, but I've never read one besides the
one she was reading to me at one point. Does anyone happen to know who wrote
them? Take care.

Extremely well stated. I was told that I didn't like to read when I was a
kid, but that was totally untrue. I was just given boring books all the
time, so of course I didn't have that much desire to read them. If i had
been given something interesting to read I would have learned much faster
and been much happier.
I remember the Cam? books that were about a young girl detective with a
photographic memory, and those books were really the first interesting
reading material I was ever given in braille that I actually enjoyed
reading. I really wonder what they were actually called. Once I had good
books to read I started to read all the time.
By submitting children's books to bookshare we are encouraging learning,
helping kids to succeed in school, helping kids to love reading, and
ultimately increasing their intelligence, though not necessarily their
ability to spell, if I am any indication. LOL
