it's the story about two kids, a girl and a boy, and how they feel about each other as they grow older. now... i guess i should first say that i find this kind of story to be really cute, so this probably taints my perspective, but aside from that it was decently written and was more complex than i ...

Fantastic mystery!
Sammy Keyes is a fun, clever seventh grade sleuth. This first book in the "Sammy Keyes" series had me reading late into the night. As a children's author, I admire the way the author, Wendelin VanDraanen, is spot on with the voice, situations, and problems of a seventh grader. This is an excellent mystery for both boys and girls. This book won the Edgar Award which is a very prestigious ...

Imagine how life might change if you were cleaning under your mother's bed and discovered her stash of steamy romance novels and her latest self-help book. That is just what happens to Evangeline Logan.
Evangeline can sort of understand the presence of this collection of reading material since her father recently divorced her mother in favor of another love interest. Forgiving her father is ...

The Best Sammy Keyes
Every summer I look forward to reading the new Sammy Keyes book by Wendelin Van Draanen. Her first five Sammy books were amazing. The children in my classroom love them. I wasn't thrilled with the next three, particularly Snake Eyes. I kept those three in the drawer because I was worried about the lamguage and the level of violence in them. With this book, Van Draanen has returned to creative ...

This was the first Sammy book that I read and I really enjoyed it. It's very exciting and is a real pageturner. It has you guessing until the end and is written very well. The characters are also very likable, especially Sammy, who stands up for herself to the popular kids.
Sammy is at the mall with her best friend Marissa when some stranger gives her a bag with a baby, because some scary guy ...
