"The most winning junior detective ever in teen lit. (Take that, Nancy Drew!)"—Midwest Childrens Book Review Sammy thought shed seen all the weirdness her town had to offer—and then she met Justice Jack, Santa Martinas very own superhero. Well, really hes just a guy in spandex and a mask who rides around town on a dirt bike, hoping to find some crime to fight. The old folks in town think hes wonderful. So wonderful that theyve asked him to track down Sammys neighbor Mrs. Wedgewood, who seems to have disappeared—along with a lot of other peoples cash. Sammys friends think Justice Jack is funny and cool. Billy Pratts even auditioning to be his sidekick! But Sammy thinks hes kind of . . . lame. Hes more of a showstopper than a crime stopper. And when a real mystery comes along, Sammy finds herself right in the middle of it. . . . The Sammy Keyes mysteries are fast-paced, funny, thoroughly modern, and true whodunits. Each mystery is exciting and dramatic, but its the drama in Sammys 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.
