by. By now I find the writing a little simple. There are still many ironic lines that I enjoy in Wendelin Van Draanen's writing style and this book has many. Sammy Keyes and the Cold Hard Cash is a fine addition to the Sammy Keyes series. I felt that while mystery was featured more in this story, it did not hold much interest for me. In the beginning, I suspected that the money Sammy received may have been counterfeit though I did not keep this in mind as I kept on reading.

Another great read by Wendelin Van Draanen. I am a grandmother who really enjoys the Sammy Keyes books. I was introduced to them by my grandaughter who while reading a part of one out loud, put so much character into it, I couldn't wait to read the whole book. I have since bought the whole series and can't wait for the next issue. I read them and then pass them on to my daughter and granddaughters on down the line until we all have finished them. We recommend them to all kids, and adults alike.

Sammy Keyes is one of my favorite series of books, right up there with Harry Potter. I started reading them in grade school, and even though I'm a high school junior now, I'm still addicted to these! I was so excited when I heard this was coming out that I went and purchased an eBook yesterday (the day it came out).

Yeah, I was just a little excited.

And for good reason-this book, the 12th out of 20 planned books, does not disappoint. Sammy Keyes is just sneaking up the fire escape at the Senior Highrise where she lives-as usual-when an unexpected old guy runs into her. Sammy finds out what scaring someone to death literally means when the guy has a heart attack right on the stairs. To add to this, Sammy's obese neighbor Mrs. Wedgewood has fallen, and oh yeah, the guy told Sammy to throw his bundles of cash into the bushes.

Well, Sammy can't just let bundles of $20 bills be hidden in some bushes. She feels terrible about "killing" the man (even though it wasn't her fault), but when there are hundreds of bucks in her hands where she previously had nothing, well, what can she do! She pockets it, intending on only doing good things-repaying her rich best friend, Marissa, for all the nice things Marissa's done for her; leaving secret gifts for her Grams and Hudson.

Marissa is having problems of her own, too. Her parents are fighting more and more, money is dwindling, and her little brother, Mikey, is uncooperative and acting like a baby. On top of that, she worries she'll never be able to land Danny Urbanski, her crush. Speaking of crushes, what will happen to Sammy and Casey?! Those two are my main reasons for reading this series--they're so cute! Things turn awkward though, when Sammy's mother unexpectedly returns for a few days to Santa Martina-but not to see Sammy. Heather & Officer (I mean, Sergeant) Borsch make a little appearance as well.

Sammy runs into deeper and bigger problems with the money as she encounters a dangerous stranger who visits Mrs. Wedgewood and starts to realize why the old guy she scared to death wanted her to throw the cash away. She decides to go undercover as an old lady as well...which is hilarious, until she's discovered. Will she be able to get out of all this mess?

I really, really enjoyed this installment, and I already can't wait until the next one! Art of Deception & Sisters of Mercy will probably always be my two favorite Sammy Keyes books, but this one comes really close!

The first book in this series (Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief) was on my daughter's summer reading list between 4th and 5th grade. We read it together and were hooked. Inquisitive and resourceful, Samantha (Sammy) Keyes makes a great tween protagonist. We read another book in the series (Sammy Keyes and the Curse of Moustache Mary) as a family, including my husband in the fun. We listened to Sammy Keyes and the Wild Things and this book on CD in the car as we travelled for summer vacation. We learned a lot about how you can tell if money is real or counterfeit, and I noticed my daughter checking all of the bills we passed and received on vacation. I recommend reading this series in order because the characters and relationships develop from one book to the next.

Sammy gets an unexpected windfall, but there's a lot of mystery and strings attached... so she's doing her best to figure it all out. Mixed in with summer fun, pool parties, and a big surprise concerning her arch enemy, Heather, Sammy comes out ok and even makes a couple new friends!!

I love the Sammy Keyes series, but this one is probably my least favorite. The first 3/4 of the book were not as exciting and fun as they normally are. In fact, a good majority of it was spent describing the annoying neighbor next door (Mrs. Wedgewood) and her common problem of falling off the toilet. When this happened, she would bang on the wall and Gram and Sammy were obligated to go next door to help her. During these parts of the story, there were excessive details about the woman's physical features, numerous references to her bare backside, her gigantic underwear, etc., and I felt it crossed a line...while I know Sammy expresses herself "creatively" this went beyond the usual humor into making fun of the elderly in a manner I wasn't comfortable with.

Normally I'd recommend these books to 4th and 5th graders, but several of the later books in the series have included subject matters too mature for this age group. Even this book had some references to drug paraphernilia and illegal activities that I think most 10 and 11 year olds would not be familiar with, nor would I want them becoming familiar with these things while so young.

The last few chapters of this book were classic Sammy, and I loved them. I just wish the entire book had been that way. I also wish we could see more of our favorite characters from past books, like Officer Borsch, who was only in about 4 pages of this book.

Still love Sammy, just not this particular adventure of hers!

I love your books and Sammy Keyes is a great character. I love your style of writing and I can't wait for the new series!!!
