My partner and I finished this fun Nancy Drew puzzle with a lot of the iconic covers. We decided to read whatever book was the last piece. There wasn't an audiobook of that particular title when we were on our road trip so we started with #1. We had a blast listening to this because Nancy Drew is such a Mary Sue type of character and so we were making jokes along the way, which added a star for me because of the experience...but it was also a solid kids mystery that showed Nancy as very capable for a 1930's girls adventure story. She has her own car and can change a flat tire! Go, Nancy!
Additionally, this type of genre just isn't found anymore. It helps me piece together the drama/mystery elements of venture bros. and appreciate that aspect more too.
