Review:
In the mood for an up-lifting book? Are you looking for a book that
keeps you gripping the page until the very end? Well here’s a
book made just that will be utmost satisfying. Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen,
written by Wendelin Van Draanen, is an excellent book that has
mysterious twists … such as finding a dead cat in a dumpster!
Sammy and her very close friend Holly set out to find the cruel person
who could do such a thing to a poor and helpless cat. The 9th book in
the series is a praiseworthy book.
Sammy once again finds herself sucked into mystery ... just like Wendelin Van Draanen is pulling you deeper into Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen!
Wendelin Van Draanen keeps the story so intense it feels as if you are
there yourself! You can also feel the unique emotions flowing
throughout the book. Sammy also shows some unexpected interests such as
watching wrestling. The book has a great amount of suspense mixed into
the already very juicy plot. Sammy and Holly find a cat in the dumpster
and not just any cat, a dead one! Sammy is ready to solve this crime no
matter what it would interfere (even her birthday!) this cat-lover is
up to the case! Other mysterious things are going on around Sammy, a
wrestler dressed up in a cat costume who has never been seen without
his costume off anywhere and a cave-man/bull dog person roaming the
streets. Or being chased through a dark alley by an unknown man who has
a cleaver. What is going on with Sammy? Working vigorously trying to
find the cat murderer Sammy hasn’t ever been this clueless in all
her mystery solving days. One clue will be all she needs to find this
murderous villain.
The book is told from an odd point of view and this book is even more
interesting to read because it’s a turning point for Sammy as she
takes one big leap to becoming more mature and having more
responsibilities and priorities. The book has moments where it can be
fascinating and all the same horrifying. Many new twists that would
have seemed unimaginable in previous books occur. The sense of
“What, are you serious!” comes up a lot and gives you the
urge to read on. The book doesn’t give a single hint of who it
might be until the near-end. If you are a mystery lover then satisfy
yourself with this one of a kind book!
This great, highly enjoyable, out of whack, unique and interesting book is a pleasure to read any time of day!
