The Nancys by R.W.R. McDonald
4.0
First of all, a huge apology to R.W.R McDonald for taking so long to read this! I bought this book when it came out and have finally read it. Why did I wait so long!! The Nancys is so much fun to read! I cannot wait for Nancy Business to come out later this year and I promise I will read it immediately.
Set in NZ, The Nancys is the story of 11 year old Pippy Chan, her gay uncle Pike and his partner Devon from Sydney. Pippy's mother has won a cruise so Pike and Devon have arrived in town to look after her. Her hometown of Riverstone is quiet and nothing exciting ever happens there. So when her school teacher is found murdered on the side of the road, Pippy, Pike and Devon use their love of Nancy Drew to form The Nancys and investigate the murder.
I absolutely loved Devon - the camp and flamboyant partner. So many laughs and innuendos! This is a fun and exciting read, a murder mystery with a difference. As a kid I love Nancy Drew and The Famous Five so I could relate to Pippy and her love of reading and mysteries, So much fun!
