The main character is more "real", more "believable", or at least certainly more "colorful" than Nancy Drew. She is a bit raw, even beating people up...but the book isn't out of hand in that regard, and does a great job of mixing raw, streetwise sensibility with characters that are mostly nice people. She solves the mystery, and that means a satisfying conclusion, but since it's a series, the reader has more to discover too. It is great when there is a good "series", because it makes recommending books to readers easier, since once they are hooked with one title, they have an automatic list of follow-up reading.  mcivalleri | Jul 28, 2009 |  This is a fast-paced mystery story, full of realistic details of school and family life.. Sammy is hiding in her Grandmother's senior's-only apartment, while trying to live as normal a life as possible. When she spots a man stealing a handbag in the hotel across the road, she has to identify the crook, before she implicates herself. Sammy and her best friend Marissa are wonderfully real, just the kind of girlfriends I'd like to hang out with. Funny, passionate, forgiving, and the opposite of prissy, these girls race through this story, with heaps of suspense and surprises on the way. I look forward to the next instalment.
