J From the KLIATT review of the book, March 2003: "This is the eighth book about Sammy ... the middle-school sleuth who lives with her grandmother while her mother pursues a film career in Hollywood. For an art project, Sammy goes to an art gallery to try to understand what art is, accompanied by her grandmother and 72-year-old Hudson ... Hudson develops a crush on one of the artists featured in the exhibit, making Grams furious. It is this artist who becomes the focus of the mystery of the book.

Concerned chiefly or only with oneself: "Selfish men were . . . trying to make capital for themselves out of the sacred cause of human rights" Maria Weston Chapman. , small-minded person be capable of producing such wonderful paintings? ... Meanwhile, Sammy's social life at school is changing ... Throughout, the story offers what we expect from a Sammy Keyes mystery: smart young people who are independent thinkers.
