Sammy Keyes is a series written by Wendelin Van Draanen. Sammy is a 7th grader who lives with her grandma in her seniors only high rise. Her mother is off being an actress in Hollywood and Sammy has to pretend to only be visiting her grandmother since no children are allowed to live in her grandmother's building. Sammy is one of my favorite fictional characters. She's brave and vulnerable, sassy and kind, smart and resourceful. She solves mysteries with the help of her varied friends. These books are short and wonderful. I've read them all before, but these revisits have made my soul happy. There is one book for every month of her 7th grade year. So far I've reread the first 4.
Recommend: Very much!
