" I started this series when I was 9 years old. At age 20 I've outgrown a lot of things I used to read (ex: the Meg Cabot books I picked up in 6th grade), but for some reason not Sammy Keyes. It's distinctly Children's Lit and not YA, but it is still quite well written (It also contains some quite adult themes--I mean teenagers with meth labs? Pregnant teenagers looking for a way out of gangs? Homeless teens?) Sammy is mature, sharp and witty as always. This particular installment was more of a coming of age tale for Sammy than an intense mystery, but I enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next one. "
