Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak

3.0

The character of Nancy Drew is approaching her 100th birthday. Fictional characters have a way of taking in a life of their own, and Nancy Drew is nothing if not determined. She persevered through the Great Depression, WW 2, sales slumps, revisions, three ghost writers, etc. I remember going to a bookstore as a little girl, and being enchanted by the shelves of hardback Nancy Drew books with yellow spines and blue covers.
Whatever the future holds for Nancy Drew, she has certainly been a hallmark for young readers around the world.
