I really enjoyed this middle grade read about friendship and Nancy Drew. Maizy is in sixth grade, and she enjoys creating stories and making documents. Her friend Isabelle is changing her interests, most notably she’s interested in boys more than Maizy. A little lost after their friendship ends, Maizy meets up with some other creatives and embarks on creating a documentary about a family mystery. Her mother owns a secondhand store, and  a box of Nancy Drew books with an inscription from what seems like her grandmother to an old friend and a picture of someone who looks like her grandmother when she was younger with two other women. Maizy’s grandmother says it isn’t her.

Fun mystery, and I really enjoyed the scene with the professor about Nancy Drew. I love books where you learn new things and new perspectives.
