I know of the early chapter book Cam Jansen mystery series by David Adler but I've never read any of them. Does anyone know if Cam is identifiably Jewish? Or is she sort of a "stealth Jew"?
At an event called Jew in the City, Adler said this: "Esteemed author David Adler commented that the famed Cam Jansen always ate cream cheese sandwiches and solved mysteries by Thursdays, because eating kosher and observing the Sabbath was a priority even for his fictitious storybook character. “I have always tried to infuse my books with as many Jewish values as I can,” Adler said. Adler dedicated this award to his late father who had been so proud of him and his success as an author." Thanks Heidi Rabinowitz bookoflifepodc...@gmail.com
