Sammy Keyes and the Search for Snake Eyes by Wendelin Van Draanen
"The most winning junior detective ever in teen lit. (Take that, Nancy Drew!)" #151;Midwest Children's Book ReviewSammy's softball team is in contention for the Junior Slugger's Cup, and all she wants to do is hunker down behind the home plate and catch strikes. But Heather Acosta brings new meaning to the term "foul ball" as she schemes to get Sammy kicked off the team.
Then Sammy is thrown a wild pitch by a frantic girl at the mall. The girl asks Sammy to watch her bag and dashes off before Sammy discovers that the bag she's left holding contains a baby! When the girl doesn't return, Sammy decides to go find her. A heart-pounding search ensues, and leads to some situations that are definitely not covered in the softball playbook.
The Sammy Keyes mysteries are fast-paced, funny, thoroughly modern, and true whodunits. Each mystery is exciting and dramatic, but it's the drama in Sammy's personal life that keeps readers coming back to see what happens next with her love interest Casey, her soap-star mother, and her mysterious father.
Reading, running, and rock 'n' roll are three of Wendelin Van Draanen's favorite pastimes. The author is based in central California. Brian Biggs is an accordionist, illustrator, designer, and graphic novelist. He resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
