Once again, I'm drawn into a hopeless mystery that has too many questions and too few answers.

Good thing I've got a pretty detective girl to help me out!

Nancy Drew has always been a source of good, clean, mystery fun with interesting characters and fascinating plotlines. As a child, I loved them, and even now I still get a kick out of flicking open the books to see if I've forgotten where the clues led.

These books are great fun for kids - they enhance vocabulary and reading skills as well as allowing them to think outside the box.

In a world where good children's books are hard to find today, Nancy Drew remains true as the best amateur detective out there.
