Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Great Space Case
Lynda Beauregard · 2013
75/100
👍 Worth It
Book 7 in the Summer Camp Science Mysteries series delivers what the series promises — a fun, readable mystery wrapped around real astronomy content, with back-matter activities that extend the learning. Strong library adoption across OverDrive and Epic confirms educator trust. The camp formula is well-worn by this point in the series, and no major press has reviewed it, but for science-curious elementary readers this is a genuinely useful and enjoyable read.
