Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief by Wendelin Van Draanen*

Sammy lives with her grandmother in a government subsidized apartments for the elderly.  Her mother abandons her there when she goes to pursue a career in acting.
To pass time, she uses binoculars  to watch the scenes below.  One day she sees a robbery occur in the seedy hotel across the street.
A very exciting mystery.  Mixed in the mystery are the pangs of adjusting to junior high and combating bullies.
Points to discuss: abandonment; lying; bullies
*highly recommend
