Less mystery and more adventure but I enjoyed it, and appreciated that it moved some of Sammys relationships forward. ( )

This may be my new favorite volume in the series. No real "mystery" in the traditional sense, but a wonderful pay-off to a lot of the emotional themes and character dynamics in the series, and an ending that really shook up status quo in a way that I think will pay off for future books. ( )

This book was by far my favorite book in the series. It was not like the typical Sammy Keyes story line, but that didn't mean it wasn't amazing. I can tell this series is coming to a close as Wendelin Van Draanen begins to tie up loose ends. Five stars! ( )
