    About Sammy Keyes and the Wedding Crasher

    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.

    About Sammy Keyes and the Wedding Crasher

    “The most winning junior detective ever in teen lit. (Take that, Nancy Drew!)” —Midwest Children’s Book Review

    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 latest Sammy Keyes adventure blends mystery, comedy, and a dusting of fairy tale magic as Sammy takes off her high-tops, puts on some party shoes, and steps into a whole lot of trouble.

    The Sammy Keyes mysteries are fast-paced, funny, thoroughly modern, and true whodunits. Each mystery is exciting and dramatic, but it’s the drama in Sammy’s 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.
