The Nighttime Cabin Thief: A Mystery About Light

(4) 4-6 Summer Camp Science Mysteries series. Illustrated by Der-Shing Helmer. Camp Dakota experiences mysterious phenomena that are explained through science. In Zombie a haunting fog (and notes left by counselors) lead campers to learn about states of matter; in Thief information about light illuminates some missing items. The comic format makes the information more accessible, but overall the approach is stuffy and overly purposeful. Simple experiments are appended. Glos. Review covers these Summer Camp Science Mysteries titles: In Search of the Fog Zombie and The Nighttime Cabin Thief.
