Ok but not my favorite. got surprisingly dark and serious at times. Continual use of the g slur very jarring. ( )

1. Sammy befriends young Elyssa who is still coping with her cop father’s death
2. The manipulative Mrs. Landvogt makes Sammy find her pomeranian dog which disappeared during the Christmas parade.
3. The dreaded Mrs. Graybill takes ill and dies.
4. Sammy schemes to expose Heather Acosta as the person who let loose the cats at the Christmas parade.

Seems to be less mystery than it is Sammy’s personal growth.
