The final mystery starring Sammy Keyes the most winning junior detective ever in teen lit. (Take that, Nancy Drew!) Midwest Childrens Book ReviewSammy doesnt go looking for trouble, but she seems to find it everywhere. Shes forever sniffing out clues and chasing down bad guysand driving her friends a little nuts. Shes gone up against thieves and counterfeiters and gangsters and blackmailers and murderers, and always stayed one step ahead.Until now.Last night, one of the bad guys caught up.Last night, someone followed Sammy up the fire escape and pushed her from the third story.Now shes in the hospital, out cold. And her friends are left with the questions Sammys always been so good at answering Why? How? But most of all . . . WHO?In this emotional conclusion to her beloved longrunning series, Wendelin Van Draanen shows just how many lives one nosy girl can touch and pays tribute to a life well sleuthed.Praise for Sammy KeyesIf Kinsey Millhone ever hires a junior partner, Sammy Keyes will be the first candidate on the list. Shes feisty, fearless, and funny. A topnotch investigator! Sue GraftonSammys brave, resourceful, observant and a loyal friend, but this girl sleuth is no wellmannered Nancy Drew. Shes endearingly hottempered, nosy, and not always obedientin short, shes someone I want to read about again. Margaret Maron
