Hi, Gerald, and thanks. It's been about 15 years or more since I even heard of these, so there's little wonder I didn't trust my memory. *grin* Take care.

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.

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.
