Summary: A GREAT book---has something for everyone!!!
Comment: Sammy Keyes is shut up in her apartment one afternoon. Bored, she starts peeking out the window with her gram's binoculars. And what does she witness? A theft in the Heavenly Hotel across the street! The mysterious thief catches sight of Sammy, and she's launched into a mystery that's suspenseful but fun all the way.
This is a fantastic book that pretty much anyone can read and love, regardless of their taste in books, age, gender, or intelligence. I would definitely tell a friend to read it or buy it. The book has a relatively easy, to-the-point writing style that isn't tough to understand but is still good. The author clearly has a deep, terrific understanding of kids, is very talented, and NEVER gets sappy or condescending. It's action-packed fun with a detective girl who has an attitude---what could go wrong? I love mysteries because of all the connections and surprises, and this book is a perfect example. If you're very, very sharp and pay attention to details, hints, and clues (like Sammy Keyes herself!), then you can figure out the mystery, too.

Summary: Funny and Suspenseful
Comment: While living with her grandmother in a nursing home, as in The Mixed up Files, Sammy is not allowed to live in the facility (museum) and must sneak in and out. The rest home is across the street from a "seedy" hotel, where Sammy Keyes discovers a secret while spying on the questionable characters coming and going from the hotel. Sammy is a very likable and funny character and she often finds herself in trouble. This book has a surprising ending, which makes Sammy an intriguing character and prompts young readers to continue reading the Sammy Keyes series. This book also won the 1999 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Children's Mystery Book. Other books suitable for the same age range are Holes, and Abby and the Bicycle Caper.
