It's a classic....it's clear that I have outgrown the age demographic for this book, but I can see why people still know Nancy Drew. I wish the writing was more of show us as opposed to tell us, but again I feel like that's more due to the age demographic it's aimed at.

Perfect for those around the 3rd grade, and engaging enough for an adult to help them read it.
