Sammy Keyes and the Art of Deception (Sammy Keyes #8) 
But then Sammy tackles a thief who tries to break up the soiree with a stickup. Now
the patrons of the arts are glad she has a lot of nerve. Or are they? Sammy may have stopped a criminal, but the real crime has yet to be discovered. The real crime is more subtle, more artful, than anything Sammy's ever seen. She had no idea art could be so dangerous. . . .
This edition also includes a free cd including an interview with Wendelin, a reading from "Sammy Keyes and the Search for Snake Eyes," and "The Sammy Keyes Song."
Another super installment in this wonderful series. The audio books are very well done.
Sammy's grandma have had a part in every book so far, but this is the first time that she gets a spot center stage. And how it works out? It's quite fun actually, seeing her act the way Sammy often does - not acting her age that is. Well, you know what they say... The apple doesn't fall far from the apple tree. And the old lady turns out to be a regular pip. Just you wait and see.It is also nice to encounter, not just the same ol' budding puppy love thing, but a sample of the more mature

One of my favorite Sammy's yet. A lot of humor in this one; humor and tangled romance, but I don't want to give anything away. I wouldn't want to start the series here, but I'm sure glad I've read through this far! Although these aren't "Great Literature," they sure are fun reading. Looking forward to get to the next one. You'd think that with this many books in a series, they would become hopelessly redundant and repetitive, but somehow there are enough fresh twists and turns in each one to
Great book, especially about art and identity.
The budding art scene of Santa wherever is the main scene and diversionary topic in this one. It's unrealistic how much Sammy eventually learns about art, but as a semi-art appreciator, I enjoyed those segments as well as the Renaissance Faire. This was back to semi-serious and less dangerous deceptions for Sammy to solve, along with enjoyable ruminations about relationships for both her, and Grams and Hudson.
Sammy and her grandmother go with their friend Hudson to an art gallery for a Sammy's school project. Sammy dislikes two of the artists' work but she is captivated by the third artist's work. Then a burglar attempts a heist of the artwork and Sammy stops him. This sets Sammy and her grandma on a quest to determine whether one of the artists staged the robbery and leads Sammy to examine what true art is. Fun book for middle grade readers.
