Author: Carolyn Keene Genre: Mystery Recomended grade level: 5+ Description: This series is about an 18 year old girl, who helps her father(a lawer) in many tough cases. She makes many friends along the way and has some very close calls through her time as a detective. Nancy has solved many nail biting mysterys. She is a very brave girl to do the things she has done in one whole life time! And through it all she stays faithful to her friends and family. Critique: I have read books 1-4 in the Nancy Drew series. They are very exciting books and have a lot of twists and turns. Although it is a bit more discriptive on clothing than I deem needed, it is still a very fun book to read. I think most kids will enjoy the adventures with Nancy for a long time to come.
