Sammy Keyes and the Search for Snake (Sammy Keyes)

Summary: Sammy Keyes is at it again!
Review: Having recently read over this book, being an older student, I was reluctant to report on this book to my class because of it's childish stature. Fourtunately, after reading it, like so many of the other books written in the 'Sammy Keyes' series, it left me flabergasted. It's rather mature, and offers a great perspective on the lives of the streets and how hard it is to live in a poor environment and what effect it has on others. (Personally, reading this book alone would be enough to convince me to stay in school and get a good job). Sammy Keyes and her friend Marina are minding thier own business when a woman bumps into Sammy and exits after mumbling gibberish and leaving a bag-with a baby inside! Snake Eyes(as Sammy calls him) comes to hunt down the lady who left the baby, and Sammy is concerned. Besides the fact that it will be an even bigger problem crawling up the fire escape into her grandmothers' adults-only apartment complex with a baby; she is convinced this guy is out the get the woman who left the baby. A spine-tingly adventure begins and a frantic goose-chase turns deadly nearing the climax-but I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself.
Great book, I recommend it for kids ages 10-14

Summary: Sammy Keyes book report
Review: I read Sammy Keyes and the Search for Snake Eyes. I thought this was a book with suspense because it was a mystery finding out who was Snake Eyes, who spray-painted the walls putting the blame on Sammy, how could they get the idea that they were stupid to spray paint their names so everybody could see that they spray-painted the walls. I think kids in 4th and 5th grade would like this book.

Summary: Sammy Keyes is at it again!
Review: I read this book to my 3 sons, ages 13, 10, and 8. There were times they were all scared and times they didn't want me to stop reading to them because they had to know what happened next. What more could you ask for in a book? This mystery was dedicated to all people who fight terrorists, both big and small. It was written with 9/11 in mind, and, in my opinion, it is a tribute to all the heroes of 9/11. Sammy's inability to understand why any teenager would want to get mixed up in a gang offers the reader constant reminders on how bad gangs can be and how, once you're in, it's almost impossible to get out. In my opinion, this book should replace the novel called the Outsiders (about gang warfare written in the 60's) from middle school reading lists. It is a fresh, more modern view on the subject and better written). My boys and I have read every book in this series and can't wait until the next one.

Summary: Must read!!! Awesome book!
Review: My teacher got me to read this book. It was so awesome. Sammy is into softball, and having adventures. On each adventure, she finds out something new to help her sovle a mystery. She was given a baby in the mall, but she doesn't who the mother is. The mother of the child told her to come back to the mall later that night, Sammy did, but the mother never showed up. Now Sammy Keyes is stuck with a baby and is trying to find the mother. If you haven't read any Sammy Keyes books before, then I suggest that you should read this book first. It's so interesting that you can't and don't want to put it down because you want to fing out what happens next. Wendelin Van Draanen is a great writer for kids. Check out her other books!
