i woke up listening to npr the other day and they were doing a story about nancy drew (i think they were talking about her enduring appeal) and it brought me back to those long, wonderful summers spent solving mysteries with her.
i read her books into my high school years, where i did abandon her for a more serious addiction: stephen king. i have hardly given her much thought since then, aside from the movie that came out last year. but hearing her name the other morning has given me the the bug once again. so what if they are written for young adults. they are the perfect summer read.
i believe i am going to go curl up and take an adventure with her tonight...

dear old nancy drew!
Screw the Hardy Boys! Nancy Drew was the epitome of what I wanted to be! Wrapped up one of her great mysteries is a wonderful way to spend a summer.
A few more to consider when you breeze through those books:
Judy Blume (Superfudge series, Ramona Quimby)
Steohen Pike--the "more edgy" style of a mystery
and even maybe a Sweet Valley High just for kicks!
Happy Reading...
