Sammy takes off her high-tops, puts on some party shoes, and steps into a whole lot of trouble.

“Sammy’s investigation, friendships, family life, and wiseacre narration make this another rollicking addition to the series.” —Booklist

Sammy should have known better than to think 8th grade would be easier than 7th. It’s only September and already the history teacher is receiving death threats. Naturally, Sammy is the prime suspect.

To make matters worse, officer Borsch has asked Sammy to help out at his wedding. If she doesn’t find the real prankster fast, Sammy will be wearing prison stripes instead of a poofy pastel bridesmaid dress.

This Sammy Keyes adventure blends mystery, comedy, and a dusting of fairy tale magic.

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. I challenge the most seasoned mystery reader to guess ‘who done it.’” —Cozies, Capers, and Crimes

“Sammy Keyes comes armed with attitude.” —Orlando Sentinel

“Sammy doesn’t find mysteries to solve—they find her.” —Arizona Republic

“Humor, romance and adventure; this story is an absolute blast.” —Chicago Tribune
