Sammy Keyes and the Wild Things Author:Wendelin Van Draanen THIS IS NOT the summer camping trip of Sammy?s dreams. She imagined shade, streams, a deer or two. But she winds up in a phony forest with scrubby shrubs, blazing sun, rattlesnakes, and scorpions. Her fellow campers are desperate to catch a rare glimpse of an endangered condor in the wild. Sammy?s seen enough?that bird is ugly! — But when she and... more » two other girls find an injured condor, Sammy?s intrigued. The girls stray away from their group to track down a clue, but instead stumble onto two classmates and wind up lost. Which leaves three girls and two boys in the middle of a canyon with one tent and six billion biting flies. Oh?and an armed and dangerous high-stakes poacher.
