Reseñas de la Crítica

"Tara Sands skillfully takes the characters beyond the mundane through her impressive ability to speak in many voices - supercilious, sarcastic, and sincere. While delivering nonstop action, she underscores the notion that strength and beauty of character are more than skin deep." (AudioFile)
"Van Draanen injects some weighty social commentary into the plot's clever suspense, creating well-rounded secondary characters while she develops Sammy into an intelligent, gutsy, flawed, and utterly likable heroine." (Booklist)

fantastic thriller

Would you listen to Sammy Keyes and the Hollywood Mummy again? Why?

Sammy Keyes and the Hollywood Mummy is a fantastic thriller for children - my daughter recommends this book to any child who loves good mysteries. This book is a tense, edge of the seat kind of story - intact she insists it is one of the best books she's ever listened to.

Fun, smart, and very moving.

The sixth Sammy Keyes book has Sammy finally interacting with her mother, and this trip to Hollywood is a fascinating, funny, and troubling experience for Sammy and Marissa. At times deeply moving, this audiobook is wonderfully written and performed!
