Review ------ Praise for the Sammy Keyes series: “Van Draanen offers such an explosive combination of high-stakes sleuthing, hilarity, and breathlessly paced action that it’s impossible to turn the pages fast enough.” —Kirkus Reviews “There’s no stopping Sammy.”—Publishers Weekly “An intelligent, gutsy, flawed, and utterly likable heroine.”—Booklist "Move over, Nancy Drew—a new sleuth is on the scene.”—Girls’ Life "Think a combination of Carl Hiaasen’s Flush and Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books and you’ll be right on target.” —School Library Journal “A high-quality, high-amp mystery series.” —The Horn Book “This funny, clever series is NOT for kids only.

But Heather Acosta brings new meaning to the term “foul ball” as she schemes to get Sammy kicked off the team. And Sammy is thrown a wild pitch by a frantic girl in the mall.
