About this ebook

Sam Sanderson is an independent, resourceful, high-tech cheerleader. She dreams of becoming an award-winning journalist like her mother, and so she’s always looking for articles she can publish in her middle-school paper (where she secretly hopes to become editor). And with a police officer for a father, Sam is in no short supply for writing material.

It seemed like the perfect opportunity.

When an explosive device is found in the local theater, Sam gets the lead on this developing and controversial story—controversial because the movie theater has recently come under attack by a renowned, outspoken atheist for allowing a local church to show Christian movies. Sam’s police-officer father happens to be heading the investigation, and Sam can’t resist doing some sleuthing of her own with the help of her best friend Makayla’s techno-genius. But when Sam’s theories end up being printed in the school paper, she lands in big trouble—and danger!

This book is perfect for tween readers who like a mystery and a good, fun, clean read. I hope I get to read more stories of Miss Sam Sanderson. Positive Elements: Of course I love to see how Sam grows and handles certain situations in the book. When you first begin to read, Sam is willing to do anything for the story, however, by the time the book ends, I feel Sam has learned how to conduct herself better. I love the fact that Sam is real, and she struggles with father (especially) and l
