如果你的孩子喜欢《南希·德鲁》（Nancy Drew）或《福尔摩斯探案》，那一定不要错过这套被称为“现代版少女侦探经典”的系列——《Sammy Keyes》。

这是一套融合了推理、幽默与成长的长篇系列小说，共 18 册，作者是美国作家 Wendelin Van Draanen（《Flipped》 怦然心动作者）。她本身是一名中学老师，深谙青少年的心理变化，她笔下的Sammy聪明又叛逆、敏锐又善良，是一个活在现实世界的“小侦探”，带领读者一边破案、一边成长。

🌟故事简介

故事的主人公 Sammy Keyes 是一位住在小镇上的初中女孩。

她好奇心强、正义感十足，却常常因为“太热心”而陷入各种麻烦之中。

在破获一起又一起离奇案件的过程中，她不仅揭开谜底，更逐渐理解了友情、信任、诚实和勇气的真正含义。

从酒店盗窃案到游轮谋杀案，从猫展风波到拉斯维加斯冒险，每一册都是独立的谜案，也是一段心灵成长的旅程。

ONE

It’s not like I was trying to get into trouble. And it’s not like it was myfault I was stuck inside the apartment. If it was anybody’s fault it was Mrs. Graybill’s. Mrs. Graybill lives down the hall and has to be the nosiest person who ever lived. I swear she’s got nothing better to do than to stand by her door, waiting for someone to do something she doesn’t think they’re supposed to be doing. Grams says she’s just a bitter old woman, but when I ask whyshe’s bitter, Grams doesn’t seem to have much of an answer. She usually just shrugs and says, “It happens to people sometimes,” and then changes the subject.

Anyhow, it’s on account of Mrs. Graybill that I was stuck inside when I wanted to be outside. And since there’s not much for me to do because everything I own has to be able to fit inside Grams’ bottom dresser drawer, I was using the binoculars to at least see what was going on outside.

First I checked out the Pup Parlor. You can see some pretty weird-looking dogs leaving the Pup Parlor. Most of them come out all puffed up and wearing ribbons like they’re going to a party instead of home to sleep on the couch. But since we’re on the fifth floor and the Pup Parlor’s clear down the street, there isn’t really much to see if nobody’s going in to pick up their puffy dogs. And since nobody wasgoing in to pick up their puffy dogs, I didn’t spend much time watching.
