This book is an example of an early childhood chapter book and realistic fiction. It has events that could happen, it is a mystery about two young kids who solve the mystery of the suspicious UFO in their town. Level- Primary

Cam Jansen, her parents, and her best friend Eric Shelton go to the movies in this eighth chapter-book devoted to her mysterious adventures. When the second reel of the film they have come to see - Shoe Escape - disappears, and the theater owner accuses the wrong man, Cam steps in to solve the puzzle, and to bring the real thief to justice...I read a number of the Cam Jansen mysteries when I was a young girl, enjoying them quite a bit, so when I started a project recently to familiarize myself with chapter-books intended for children who have just graduated from leveled early readers, I decided to start with them. I don't recall reading Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Monster Movie back then, but picking it up now, I was greatly amused by the somewhat surreal nature of Shoe Escape, with its frightening narrative of shoes leaving people's feet and congregating together. In fact, the adult reader in me was far more entertained by this unlikely film 'classic' than by the mystery itself, which was easily resolved. The target audience will no doubt find it more engrossing however, and it is to them, and to fans of the series, that I would recommend it.
