Cameron's Mushroom Planet books (The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet, Stowaway to the Mushroom Planet, Mr. Bass' Planetoid, A Mysteryfor Mr. Bass, and Time and Mr. Bass) are humorous, exciting space fantasies aimed at younger readers, but also fun for young adults. The mushroom people, especially Mr. Bass, are fascinating characters; and the human boys are typical children who get involved in fantastic adventures.

Her realistic books feature interesting characters, who deal with many common young adults problems. Especially well drawn is Cory (in A Spell is Cast), a shy girl who longs to become part of a family and to be able to make friends her own age. Her problems are presented believably in a very mysterious, almost Gothic, setting.
