Sammy Keyes and The Cold Hard Cash

Sammy Keyes and the Cold Hard Cash - Wendelin van Draanen

Sammy is rushing (illegally) to her grandmother's apartment, when she scares an old man - literally to death. His last words were "Take the money! Get rid of it! Get rid of it!". Sammy does this, but then has afterthought, and goes back to collect it. Now she's got a ton of money in her hands, and it may just be fake.

I like this book, and the series, because there is a girl heroine. You don't see many of those these days. The author is a great descriptive writer, and is coming out with a new book, "Sammy Keyes and the Wedding Crasher". I give this book/series a rating of " *****".
