Nancy Drew for 2nd / 3rd grade

By A happy mom - September 23, 2006

My daughter just started second grade and she is already on the third book in this series. They are funny, well written and perfect for her reading level (she reads at her grade level) I love that fact that she is getting an introduction to the Nancy Drew characters, as I loved this series when I was a girl and in a couple of years she can read all my old Nancy Drew books herself. I highly recommend this series.

In this version, Nancy and her pals don't fight any criminals with guns, but stick mainly to their grade school environs, and a five-block radius around her house. The stakes are pretty low, dangerwise, and the story is not scary or grisly in any way, shape or form.

(All the characters in this first volume are white and affluent; one kid... read more

Super Nancy solves a great mystery

By A Kid's Review - July 26, 2007

This book is about a girl who invites Nancy to her house for a sleepover birthday party. The next morning the girl's favorite doll is gone, but she doesn't tell her parents. Then her Dad asks her to bring her doll to a tea party the next day. Can Nancy find the doll in time? Read the book to find out. This book is good for an 8-year-old because Nancy is eight years old in this book.
