With Sammy’s parents and older sister headed to India\, Sammy is excited to have two weeks of summer with her grandmother\, and she’s even willing to tolerate her younger brother\, Imran. \nWhen Samira’s house gets TPed\, she’s pretty sure she knows who did it. With the help of her new neighbor Alice\, Sammy finds herself tracking down clues between garage band practices\, blanket-fort building\, and neighborhood dinner parties. Before the summer is over\, Samira knows she must do two things: prove beyond a doubt who TPed her house\, and figure out once and for all who her real friends are.” \n  \nAbout the Author: Nina Hamza is a writer and physician who lives in Minnesota. She struggles with math\, calculating time zones\, and parking. She is the author of Ahmed Aziz’s Epic Year. Her favorite part of being a writer has been meeting kids who learned something from her books that she hadn’t even intended. \n  \nAbout the Series: Cosponsored by Story Line Books\, 1881 Eating House\, and Union Depot\, Stories at the Station endeavors to bring local Minnesota authors to their audience in Saint Paul and beyond!
