The Sammy Keyes series is a gem from the turn of the millennium that still holds up. While the tech is dated (no smartphones here), the 'girl on a skateboard solving crimes' energy is timeless.
It’s smart, it’s fast-paced, and it doesn’t talk down to its audience. If your kid liked Enola Holmes or Nancy Drew but wants something with a bit more 'street smart' edge, this is a solid win.
