I like Cam Jansen because there is always a mistery (mystery). I also like how her friends work together to solv (solve) a mistery (mystery). I love how Cam has a photographic memory.
Cam's rell (real) name is Jennifer, but when peapel (people) found out about her memory Jennifer was changed to the "camera." Prety (pretty) soon the camera was shotened (shortened) to "Cam." I also like Cam's chary (cherry) red hair.
Amelia is a 1st grader at Kenrose Elementary in Brentwood. Her parents are Mike and Beth Rustici. Amelia is a gentle soul with an inquisitive mind. She loves learning about science and social studies. She spends much of her free time with her friends and sister constructing elaborate imaginary worlds centered around horses, schools and Barbies. Amelia enjoys swimming, gymnastics, reading and, most of all, chocolate!
Comments from the judges include: "Love this kid's enthusiasm as well as the succinct manner in which she expresses herself. Last sentence is my favorite!" and "I thought she had excellent reasons for liking the book and didn't get too caught up in just retelling the story." Amelia included an illustration with her essay (see above).
As the 2nd place winner in her category, Amelia won a $10 gift card to Parnassus Books in Green Hills and received a certificate honoring her achievement.
Congratulations Amelia! Keep writing -- and we like chocolate, too!
