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

4.0

Before reading this, I knew some of the basics about how the Nancy Drew series came about from some book I had as a kid: how it was ghostwritten, one of the many series created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, etc. But this book was a much more complete history, and it's really a fascinating tale. Girl Sleuth was hard to put down, and a must-read for anyone who counts Nancy Drew among her (or his) childhood friends.
