More About This Book

Overview

THIS IS NOT the summer camping trip of Sammy’s dreams. She imagined shade, streams, a deer or two. But she winds up in a phony forest with scrubby shrubs, blazing sun, rattlesnakes, and scorpions. Her fellow campers are desperate to catch a rare glimpse of an endangered condor in the wild. Sammy’s seen enough—that bird is ugly!

But when she and two other girls find an injured condor, Sammy’s intrigued. The girls stray away from their group to track down a clue, but instead stumble onto two classmates and wind up lost. Which leaves three girls and two boys in the middle of a canyon with one tent and six billion biting flies. Oh—and an armed and dangerous high-stakes poacher.

S’mores, anyone?

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 5–8— Tara Sands skillfully portrays adolescent angst combined with tenacious determination to set the facts straight in Wendelin Van Draanen's 11th Sammy Keyes mystery (Knopf, 2007) in which the spunky middle school detective steps out of her urban comfort zone. It is summer and all of Sammy's friends have skipped town for vacation, leaving her bored and wandering the mall for entertainment. She bumps into Cricket, an eco-conscience Girl Scout who invites her to go camping with her troop to observe endangered condors in the wild. Sammy envisions shady trees and lush forests, but encounters hot and dusty hiking trails, scrubby pines, and poison oak. Of course, that's not all she finds. Their cabin has been broken into and the girls discover a baby condor that has been shot. Sammy and her new friends are hot on the case. It's a race against time to save the bird and find the bird's mother and the culprits. While Sands does not stretch her range to provide a distinctive voice for each character, listeners will easily be able to follow the story line. One production issue of note: tracks range from 10 to 15 minutes long which can make bookmarking cumbersome. Overall, though, this is sure to be a hit with those new to the series as well as with previous fans.—Karen T. Bilton, Mary Jacobs Memorial Library, Rocky Hill, NJ

    Fantabulous!

    I absolutely loved this book! I have been following Van Draanen's Sammy series, and this one has been one of my favorites in the series, followed by the rest of them.... I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone hungry for an excellent mystery. Sammy is a great sleuth, and she really puts the 'top' in 'HighTOPs'! She is a character that Van Draanen describes so well, it's as though that if you travel to Santa Martina, you will see the Senior Highrise and everything. Sammy comes alive in this book, as well as the other books. Read this and you won't be dissapointed!!

    absolutely awesome!!!!

    I absolutely love the Sammy Keyes books!!! I totally agree with the two reviews written before I wrote this one!!! I really enjoyed the parts in Sammy Keyes and the Wild Things with Casey and Sammy and hope there are more in the next book which I absolutely cannot wait to read!!!!!!! Everytime a new book comes out I read it and I read it again and again and then I read the whole series with the new book and then I read the new book again and again and again and then I read the whole series with it again and the new book again and again and again and then I read the book that comes before it and then the new book again and then I read it again and keep doing that until the next book comes out. I wish that there were going to be more than 20 because they are my favorite books!!! I LOVE THEM!!!

    Sammy? Soo old school! Soo the best!!!!!!

    Even though I haven't own all of Sammy Keyes's books I have read all of them and I recommend them to all young readers out there if they like fun, loving, mysteries. Sammy is such a fun, outgoing, honest girl you cannot help but love!! The author's is always doing a great job of making her better. And Casssie, too! I still can't believe Cassie and Heather are related. What a twiss!!
