  3. Nancy Drew

What I can remember of the Nancy Drew stories was that she was a great role model for young girls to aspire to at the time. I wanted to be Nancy Drew and solve the mysteries with her friends. Nancy Drew often teamed up the The Hardy Boys and they made a TV series from both.

I remember Pamela Sue Martin played Nancy Drew (she was later in Dynasty as the first Fallon Carrington before Emma Sams took on the role) and Parker Stevenson (who married Kirstie Allie in real life) was one of the Hardy Boys.

    In the Files books, Nancy also seemed to become more adult, she looked at boys other than Ned and on the cover of the 1992 version of Death by Design, Nancy was shown wearing an extremely short black micro-mini dress, a complete change in fashion from the original. I guess it was an effort to attract a new set of readers.

    Has anyone read Sisters in Crime, I think it was the most exiting one of the Nancy Drew books I read. Near the end of the book the villainess, Lori, confronts Nancy and after a struggle she makes Nancy Drew faint with a neck pinch. It really looked like it could be the end for Nancy, but of course she recovered

    I read all the Nancy Drew Books, got most of them for Christmas or Birthdays. I could not put them down, they were amazing. Trying to get my 10 year old hooked, but she does not feel the same way

    I had an aunt in Canada who sent me a Nancy Drew book every year, for Christmas. Unfortunately, I HATED them! The only one I remember reading was The Ringmaster's Secret. I think I was just too young to appreciate them at the time.

    Through my school years, Nancy Drew was my heroin. Her coordinated outfits and handbags, amazing descriptions of her breakfasts, lunches, desserts and dinners, her Mustang, her outings with Bess and George and dates with Ned Nickerson made her a glamorous teenage sleuth.

Do you remember these?
