(3) 4-6 When a dying man tells Sammy to throw away bundles of cash, she doesn't exactly follow his instructions. Van Draanen balances the serious stuff (Sammy's red-hot conscience after spending the money, and her pursuit of would-be counterfeiters) with laugh-out-loud sequences (a neighbor repeatedly falls off the toilet) and some romance (Sammy discovers she's interested in locking lips with almost-boyfriend Casey).
